It’s an opportunity for them to start doing away with the whole ATX thing where owners had freedom to mix and match at their own pleasure.
"I am not sure how many people will run AI models locally. It still seems like a niche application to me. However, it will make decent machines to play video games." I don't know who will be the winner but with some of the recent releases from gemma it seems more probable that you may run some models locally if only from a cost perspective, not even considering business security.

> you may run some models locally if only from a cost perspective I have a hard time believing running a model on a laptop will be cheaper than running it in a datacenter. Why wouldn't economies of scale apply here as with every other computation?
You're going to need to analyze the problem much more deeply because it sound like the standards you are implicitly applying would result in "economically, everything should be centrally hosted" but that is clearly not the result that obtains. Even a modern mid-grade cell phone is no slouch; you may not be running a current-gen frontier AI on it but you certainly can do a lot of other rather intense things locally that would have been laughable 10 years ago, like suprisingly high powered games.
Mediatek and Nvidia the horsemen of abandoning hardware after a year. The Jetson family still left a bad taste in my mouth.
Nvidia going from GPU to CPU now?

But they also want to taste the sweet fruit of AI so the only way to do this that a CISO will approve is on local air gapped hardware. It’s a niche but still a billion dollar niche.

> "Ranked in the top 2% of scientists globally (Stanford/Elsevier 2025) and among GitHub's top 1000 developers" - side note but this guy puts this everywhere, gives me probably the inverse of what he is marketing for. Lol yeah seriously, that stinks "I ask AI to generate a huge amount of bullshit and upload it to pad irrelevant stats". Absolute loser.
I agree that it sends the wrong symbol, but actually Daniel is great. He cares tremendously about doing work that is actually real-world useful. I've co-written a few papers with him, and he's really hard working and open to outside suggestions. The danger is that if you send him comments, he'll eventually manage to rope you into writing a new and improved version. Seriously, if you are a non-academic computer scient…

"I am not sure how many people will run AI models locally. It still seems like a niche application to me. However, it will make decent machines to play video games..." This is the 2026 edition of Ken Olsen: "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home"

anyone whose addicted to token theoughput is losing the operational knowledge and offline capabilities.
if you arent moving to the AMD 395 or MACs then youre hitching aride on the expensive calory ride

It doesn't really need this much explanation. People take these quotes out of context all the time. Said in a business context, there was no need, at that time, for someone to have a personal computer. There's no business justification in 1977 for a personal computer department at a business. It's similar to the gates quote about RAM (I think it was 64KB?). These statements aren't meant to be forever quotes. Their bu…
Or maybe he simply made a mistake. Big deal. This doesn't speak negatively of his other achievements.
The early popularity of Minitel, the continued popularity of ssh/tmux, and the web browser itself indicates that bespoke client applications are not the only way. He wasn’t directionally wrong.
