You don't need a lot to run things that can do simple sentiment analysis, or translating natural language statements to some API call. You can do a lot of the things that were initially promised with things like google assistant or siri through fairly basic models. They don't need to be able to write code and translate between 100's of languages to be useful. More importantly, they could significantly reduce the amount of server-side strain when it comes to collecting personal info from peoples conversations etc, which I imagine is the real incentive.
