    Local inference is probably worth it for stuff like autocomplete, etc. That's a small and complete context that can be performed by tiny models.

    The allegation is completely insane and "hits all the right notes" sorta speak. So I'm not convinced until I see some actual evidence.

    It was announced at the Game Awards as the "final reveal". From "the developers of Titanfall". Which pretty much doomed the game's release.
