Part 6/8:
Economic Implications of Localized AI Models
As the dynamics of AI change, the economic implications will also shift. Current AI models rely heavily on cloud-based inference, which incurs costs. Transitioning to on-device processing could alter traditional cost structures. While the immediate inference costs may not drastically decrease, the overall developer efficiency could improve through faster iterations and reduced downtime. However, developers will also need to navigate the challenges tied to app updates and performance optimization on local devices.
