What happens when cutting-edge AI stops making big leaps? Local inference and open-source models might finally close the gap.
Who wins? Everyday users and builders, obviously. Dirt-cheap intelligence becomes reality. AI-powered gadgets flourish. A whole ecosystem of smart devices takes off.
The flip side? Centralized platforms lose their edge. No more moat when everyone's got access to similar tech. The race shifts from who's got the best model to who executes better at the application layer.

Local inference is really coming this time, and the Moore's Law for large models is about to become obsolete, haha.

Wait, I need to calmly analyze this logical flaw... Lower local inference costs sound great, but who guarantees the data flow of model weights? Open source doesn't mean transparency. I've been tracking the funding chains behind those model updates, and some wallet cluster transfer patterns are really suspicious.

Once local inference becomes widespread, the arbitrage space for gas fees on centralized platforms will evaporate instantly—it's even harsher than sandwich attacks. The real battle will shift to the application layer; that's the true MEV battleground of the future.

Local models are really taking off, and that's when the "castle" of large models is truly at risk. But to be honest, whoever can win at the application layer is the real key...

If local inference really takes off, life will indeed become difficult for large model companies.

Hey, wait, does this mean the good days for OpenAI are over?
