The secret to success for OpenAI, Anthropic and labs is the vision that they saw 10 years back and kept working on it. We're in awe of how models like GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5 are performing today, but it's important to understand that they've been working on this before we knew about AI.
The next big thing is Robots and some stealth company building today is going to be a trillion-dollar giant in few years time.
Even for domestic robots people don't care, see just about every cloud connected smart vacuum robot and the numerous data leaks
And for companies, most of them are fine using SaaS and cloud based hosting platforms, so why would it be any different for robotics?
Sure there is the latency argument, so at least something doing very short term decision making needs to run on device or at the edge, but for most task the end to end time is in the single didit seconds to minuites, so the extra 100ms or whatever that you get going out to some model in the cloud isn't a deal breaker.

IMHO, robots won't become a thing until they're running local AI, at which point they will become the thing that crushes humanity.
