I fully expect remote solutions to smoke local options Once you include the all the network overhead of sending images/video files to a server and back over a not very fast connection, I suspect it will be closer than you think for most real world use cases. And even if a cloud solution can improved the overall performance from say 4 seconds to 2 seconds, I don't see that as a huge win overall. All that being said Apple does also offer an AI cloud compute solutions for operation too heavy to run on the phone.
