I’m pretty skeptical local models can hold a candle to the cloud-based ones, particularly the ones Apple trains.

Raw capability is only one metric: A local model probably will not beat the best cloud model any time soon, but it does not need to. If it handles 80 to 90% of everyday tasks instantly, privately and at near zero marginal cost, that is a huge win. Reserve the cloud for the genuinely hard requests, not every prompt.

also this is just the beginning. give it 5-10 years and it may be more like 99%.
