    Is there anyone serious who thinks that the future is local models anyway? All computers used to be the size of rooms like these data centers and then they got smaller and faster until the home computer came. Is that not a possibility down the line as we improve efficiency of the models and increase compute?

      Do you mean is there anyone who thinks that the future is NOT local models anyway? Since that seems to be the gist of your other points

        Yes that’s what I meant thanks for clarifying. I think local models are the future but I don’t see anyone serious arguing it. If it were true these city sized data centers will be graveyards in 5-10years
