Ask HN: Will SLMs be what bursts the LLM bubble cos you can run them on a phone?

Almost no latency, they don't even need a top-end phone, they understand what you say.

Another smuck that has fallen for the hype.

Though to be honest. Im thinking of installing a truthsayer on my old Samsung S4.

A bit stumped by the "they understand what you say". Sounds a tad immature and extremely bullshitty to me.

I dont understand the generalisation, who are "they"?

does it mean I can install loads of SLM's on my old phone and listen to them having a conversation.
