If there was an AI model that ran locally on a PC for basic things and cloud sourced computer power for more complex tasks, all of these data centers would become obsolete in an instant. All of the invested capital and materials wasted in a flash.
Edit: lots of great counter points in the comments.
The top line models require hardware that costs $100k+ to run. That’s no longer in the relam of self hosting.
The smallest models can already run on a laptop or pc anyways.
