- samuelstros 2y agoAgree. What’s your reasoning?
- d13 2y agoApple is already doing this: https://www.apple.com/uk/apple-intelligence/ https://www.apple.com/uk/apple-intelligence/
- poincaredisk 2y agoI wish, but why do you think so? Last decade the flow was from local compute to the server, not the other way around.
- samuelstros 2y agoWhile building lix change control I figured out that collaboration was/is the driver behind local to cloud. A secondary reason is compute. If a system exists that enables (distributed) collaboration on files, the appeal of cloud-based software vanishes. Remote compute becomes possible as well. At least, that’s the bet we are taking with lix https://lix.opral.com/ https://lix.opral.com/
- terribleperson 2y agoI think a short-term driver towards local models is tooling. As difficult as reliably getting useful output can be, and as fragile as the resulting product can be, you want assurances of stability that don't exist with a model in someone else's cloud. I'm not an expert on anything, though.
- wseqyrku 2y agoYeah but you have to acknowledge the distance between local compute and a gazillion dollar data center, and even past that the hardware for a local setup is premium tier so it's not gonna quite catch up considering the cost.
