No, because as the history of hardware scaling shows us, things that run on supercomputers today will run on smartphones tomorrow. Current models already run fairly well on beefy desktop systems. Eventually models the quality of ChatGPT 4 will be open sourced and running on commodity systems. Then what? There's no moat.

> The world's first AI powered phone

Do you remember the Facebook phone? Not many people do, because it was a failed project, and that was back when Android was way more open. Every couple of years, a tech company with billions has the brilliant idea: "Why don't we have a mobile platform that we control?", followed by failure. Amazon is the only qualified success in this area.
