      We envision a future where workloads are hybrid. Average consumer hardware will be able to handle a lot with local models, but you’ll still want to use cloud models for harder tasks. Magnitude will make it seamless to switch between the two, even for the same tasks (without breaking your prefix cache). We’ll charge per token for our inference cloud, using the same efficiencies we unlock for local inference to pass the savings on to you.
