Is the Future of AI Local? | Tom Bedor's Blog

Debate about whether the explosion of datacenter buildout will prove to be a worthwhile investment centers on two scenarios:

Actually, I agree. And so far, small local models are really solid, and can punch above its weight even when compared to frontier models.

I believe what I meant when I said I doubted it was since these AI corpos seemingly give no indication that local is an option, so most people would think they can only access an LLM through the web. This would bolster the SaaS ecosystem dominating over local AI, although local will keep increasingly growing as a more favourable option.

Although I do agree that the industry will shift from being server based to PC based inference as well, I don’t see that shift being large enough to make these companies change their training paradigms to include telemetry from local AI, but I’m sure some will.
