640k statement was absolute, this one is comparative.

Cloud should have more compute and efficiency than local. I wouldn't be 100% sure, as I don't know what I might not be seeing, but still.

Whether that comparative advantage will matter, though, is a completely different question.

Gotcha, I think I misunderstood the statement as saying today’s cloud-required will never be local-capable.
