The pitch here was that it wouldn't have to speak to the manufacturer's servers. The device, "AI" and data are yours. I may have not been clear here. As someone has already said in these comments, there are models, that exist, designed to run on phones and home servers, they just dont have a ton of comoute power and are limited in that way but i think that's kinda the point. Most people arent going to be writing code or making heavy requests. Most people would use it to help them with everyday things
The things openai is making comerciales about, like helping figure out your commute and daily needs. Maybe even tracking purchases for tax purposes, some home automation,
Theres is a doctor running his own LLM on a single server cross checking FDA approved drugs and potential uses in un treated diseases. Its not fast but working steadily at its purpose. Maybe your usecase is closer to this.
Im just saying theres no question the current state of "AI" is a terrible consolidation of the worst parts of capitalism and shouldn't be allowed to continue, but how could LLMs be used responsibly and usefully?
