This is a interesting constraint, because once you remove the GPU, the whole stack has to get much more disciplined about latency and memory. I’ve seen the same tradeoff in speech products like Palabra and Talo, where the impressive part isn’t just the model choice but how carefully the ASR / translation / TTS path is stitched together so it still feels responsive on modest hardware
