This is interesting. Is that based on any upcoming technology improvement already in the works?

GP is likely referring to network latency here. There's a tradeoff between smaller GPUs/etc at home that have no latency to use and beefier hardware in the cloud that have a minimum latency to use.

Sure, but if the model takes multiple seconds to execute, then even 100 milliseconds of network latency seems more or less irrelevant

Comms is also the greatest battery drain for a remote edge system. Local inference can allow for longer operation, or operation with no network infra.
