Local AI kind of sucks right now, and everything is massively over branded as AI ready these days.

There aren’t a lot of compelling local use cases and the memory constraints of local mean you end up with fairly weak models.

You need a high end high memory local setup to get decent token rates, and I’m finding right now 30-70b models are the minimum viable size.

That doesn’t compare with speed of online models running on GPUs that cost more than luxury cars.

Ai bro here. The reason there shit aint selling is because its useless for any actual ai aplication. Ai runs on gpus even an ai cpu will be so much slower than what an nvidea gpu can do. Of course no one buys it. Nvideas gpus still sell very well, and not just because of the gamers.

People expect AI to be default feature. Image search was once what was "AI". Photo recognition was once what was "AI". Voice recognition was once what was "AI". These all fall under the field of AI/ML. It's until the next state of the art comes along. Then it's no longer "AI" but a standard feature.

I have no idea why this phenomenon is but that's the way it's been. When the field of AI/ML makes its leap to the next frontier. The current "AI" which is LLMs will longer be "AI" but a standard feature.

Maybe because fictional media as set the goalpost at AGI. So nobody is expecting to be buying "AI" hardware until they are buying an AGI machine that is a conscious cybernetic lifeform. Otherwise practical AI as we know it is assumed to be just another software package that runs on any computer.

people expect a Cylon level level of AI intelligence or skynet, both are quite similar fictional concepts. funny thing in the cylons case, it was based of the brainwaves of a human girl, that was replicated into robots, which developed thier own AI/conscieness overtime.
