People are increasingly running AI language models directly on personal devices' specialized processors (NPUs) rather than sending data to cloud servers, enabled by better software tools and smaller model sizes that fit in phones and laptops.
This shifts AI capability and data privacy control away from centralized services to end users, potentially reshaping how companies deliver AI features and what it means to depend on cloud infrastructure.
