I think most people are not understanding what this kind of laptop will provide. Before we get local AI, we'll be using hybrid AI. Running big models locally is unrealistic ($$$$$) but, if you imagine an Agentic Workflow where some bits run on the cloud and other smaller tasks locally, it's an amazing deal. You don't need Opus/Code/DeepSeek/Kimi/etc to do basic stuff that models like Gemma4:12b/Qwen-27b can do locally with much less latency. Having a laptop where I can use a remote big model and combine it with 5 local domain specific models, is something I would love to do today. Imagine using OpenCode and you've a small model deciding which tasks run locally, then decides if you've a good local model for XYZ task or if we use a cloud model. My main concern is: Is this hardware powerfull enough to allow local quick models switch? Unlikely but I hope I'm wrong | ||
