My question is how long will it be before the average high end computer can run it? How long before your average smart phone?

Memory shipped with computers have been stagnate for a decade

Maybe that will be the next use case to make larger amounts of memory mainstream. At the same time, somehow Tesla still manages to cram more and more neural nets into that small memory. So it could also be that many neural nets are just not really efficient yet.

People are already trying to put cutting edge models onto consumer hardware: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32678664

We live in a really exciting age :). Local AI models will also finally give Microsoft reasons again to require hardware for coming Windows versions. Now they have to require obscure security chips and stuff but in the future they might have some local cortana thingy or something that requires a certain amount of computational power.
