The AI companies haven't really started to economize their tooling. They don't need to as long as they have VC money. I think we will see a bubble pop but that will result in cutting a lot of waste. The worst will not survive.

I see a future of hybrid local/remote LLMs. In the future most people will use local AI for day to day things. It sounds crazy but I think Apple will lead the way here.

Heavy AI work will be done in the cloud. But the normies just might use their built in AI bots.

That's my positive view at least. The dystopian view is dark.
