Why would a local model for a consumer device need 17k tok/s?

Apple is better off building chips with generalizable TPUs (or equivalent) so they can upgrade/patch models.

I cant shake the feeling of "640KB is enough for everybody". Imagine not one AI answering over 1 minute but a team of 100+ agents in hieararchical structure taking care of your request in seconds, checking each other.

It would open heaps of use cases, you could almost pass it over frames of images the camera sees in real time for example...
