The only hope I guess is that the local LLM stuff that Microsoft is pushing will actually work out. If inference is done on the device… well, at least using it doesn’t need to be profitable. Training it… I guess will have to be justified by the feature being enough of a value-add that it makes the OS more profitable. Designing operating systems that people would actually pay real money for doesn’t seem to be a focus for anybody except Apple. But I guess there’s hope on some theoretical level at least.
