The big unspoken deal is local, offline LLMs, especially if (when) easy plug-and-play finetuning becomes the norm.

Suddenly the pendulum swings back the personal computing and you can have your own offline, curated mini-google.

Imagine when a thousand purpose-trained open-weight LLMs appear, for everything imaginable. (E.g., if you want your own private Magic the Gathering robot you now can.)

Dude, local offline LLM's is what will be transformative. I absolutely hate that these LLM's are designed, built, governed and ran by massive tech oligarchs. There is absolutely no level playing field. It's the same "rich dudes" just getting richer.

Wake me up when you can get offline, open sourced, "peer to peer trained" LLM's that had nothing to do with the "big boys". Wake me up when those things manage to piss off "the establishment".

The current crop are all establishment. They've been neutered and approved by expensive laywers.

		Don't worry, the writing is on the wall. Unless Trump cracks down on these novel chinese models, like Kimi, there's just no way for these companies to ever turn green. Either they swallow their losses and move on, or transform silicon valley into some sort of ultra-restricted state monopoly
