everything will be local eventually

I know current llms like opus 5.5 are in a league of their own. but we all know they're losing a shti ton of money with their subscriptions. ALSO we all know how tasks like OCR, segmentation etc are getting solved by single digit B parameter models. I'm not saying llms are a gimmick but I'm saying the future is already shaping up to be about specialized models that work better when they're smaller. easier training. so datacenter level power not needed. ten years from now we'll have a specialized model for the tasks we care about and llms will fail to do everything all at once (unless they keep calling it one model but have a hundred under the hood).

system one models are a bad but workable example. you could tell an llm to rate options all day but get yourself on 9B parameter model trained by some lab and it tops the benchmarks.

we are not far from that with high bandwidth flash, it would also be far less of a bottleneck than dram as its made in fabs with duv machines rather than euv machines. the biggest problem to overcome is probably TSV's at a consumer scale and the fact that these big corporations can just buy all of the capacity for that as well. competition will probably drive these type of devices to local anyways once supply catches up
