alt Hacker NewsI think what OP means is that the "minimum viable product" for a daily use LLM is probably somewhere around e.g. GPT 4o's level of intelligence (YMMV). Below a certain threshold, you are better off using specialized machine learning models rather than general purpose LLMs. It's very difficult to get that level of intelligence fully local on a mobile device without streaming to the cloud.
I do think this would be interesting if they made these easy to finetune, as I do think this level of intelligence is likely sufficient for many applications and could be extremely cheap to run.
