Over the next year, consumers will realize local models are the way to go on privacy, speed, and limits.

Over the next year, consumers will realize local models are the way to go on privacy, speed, and limits. | Well, I would imagine basically every other company is going to eventually try to get to that state. I think over the next year, the consumer level is going to realize local models are the way to go from a privacy perspective, a speed perspective, a limit perspective, and Apple's ahead in that realm right now.
