99% of the world is also not spending $200/month for chatGPT. They're using whatever free shit they can get to ask basic questions.

Right. And FWIW those people are actually quite close to being able to do what they need with their phones.

If it were not for the x86 architecture they would almost have models that could answer those queries on their desks. (Gemma 4 E4B QAT is surprisingly good at this stuff; Gemma 4 12B QAT is great at it).

If I was Sam Altman I would consider giving Intel and AMD money to not develop unified memory architectures.
