    I feel like the “AI capable” marketed CPUs are a sham. For the average user, it’s just going to feel slow compared to cloud compute, so it’s just training the average person to not bother buying AI-labelled hardware for AI.

      IMHO it’s not the speed. People are patient enough if the result is good. But lets be honest the context windows are damm small to handle local context.
      Try to summarize things which are bigger than a email or a very small article.
      Try to have a slightly bigger codebase…

      And specially this “smaller” local llm’s have a much more limited quality by default without additional informations provided.

      We also don’t wanna talk about the expected prices of DDR5 memory for modern CPU’s. So even if you have a AI CPU from AMD or similar most of those PC’s won’t have 64+GB ram ->

        Oh, certainly. The reason I focused on speed is because an idiot using a shoddy LLM may not notice it’s hallucinations or failures as easily as they’d notice it’s sluggishness.

        However, the meaningfulness of the LLM’s responses are a necessary condition, whereas the speed and convenience is more of a sufficient condition (which contradicts my first statement). Either way, I don’t think the average users knows what hardware they need to leverage local AI.

        My point is that this “AI” hardware gives a bad experience and leaves a bad impression of running AI locally, because 98% of people saw “AI” in the CPU model and figured it should work. And thus, more compute is pushed to datatcenters.
