I would be curious to see how OpenAI or Anthropic would implement this vision without the inertia of a ~200,000 person company and with all the enormous brain gain these two companies now have. A Linux-based, LLM-native phone/laptop hybrid is pretty close to being my personal dream consumer device.

Can I somehow strip out the LLM-native part and just have a polished Linux-based mobile device, without someone trying to control what I run on it? Because that would be my personal dream.
I'd imagine that there would be little financial incentive to spend millions on UX/UI and polish for this kind of device without an LLM capacity.
I'm okay with capacity, and turning it on by default. I just want the ability to chuck it in the trash can if I want to, and use my device without unremovable apps and features.
The Zed approach indeed is the only consumer-friendly way.
Isn't that what the Framework laptop does?
There are rumours OpenAI is making a smartphone -
