It is an 8B model… so, I guess it probably couldn’t run directly on most existing vacuum robots, but it could be reasonable this decade, right?

I wish we lived in the alternate universe where everybody has a home server that could run this sort of thing.

Once prices settle down it doesn’t seem unreasonable that everyone who wants modern conveniences plops down $3k for a home computer. It’s still cheaper than during the “home computer revolution” 80s/90s when normies were buying these at Sears and Radio Shack.

It would be nice to believe that could be possible, but people mostly switched to cheap laptops as soon as they became viable. No harm in being hopeful though.
