It's not that you're explicitly wrong, it's that you and the article are putting a very positive spin on what is objectively mediocre performance. I could just as easily put a negative spin on it, and suggest there's som

I'm skeptical that an LLM with billions of parameters can be compressed down into something that runs on embedded hardware and still remain useful.

Adding hardware capable of running an LLM would significantly increase the price of appliances, not sure that's a win for consumers. In the context of the article, an LLM is kind of the opposite of "TinyML" and not something

I don't buy that this is accidental. When you write software, you test it on every platform you choose to support. If it doesn't work on a supported platform, then you take the time to fix it before release. It's not an "
