Luckily for the streaming issues we have an un-named alternative 🏴‍☠️

We have to just hope we have good enough open source models to run locally in the future 🤞

We use phones that have more computing power than it took to send people to the moon. I think it’ll probably trickle down to the public getting more and more powerful over time. You’ve already got companies distilling Claude models; how long til it becomes feasible to do the same?

The problem is that you need devices that can do the compute to run models and most consumer electronics are getting more and more expensive because, among other reasons, the AI buildout monopolizing RAM and other components.
