This looks cool for v1! The only problem I see is most devices don't have much RAM, so local models are small and most requests will go to the servers.

Apple could use it to sell more devices - every new generation can have more RAM = more privacy. People will have real reason to buy a new phone more often.

Apple is starting to anticipate a higher RAM need in their M4+ silicon chips: There are rumors they are including more ram than specified in their entry level computers.

One reason could be future AI models.

I'm not sure if this has been verified independently, but interesting nonetheless and would make sense in an AI era.
