What-if

Opinion

Opinion

“And if I had to bet today, it's Android because of the architecture over Apple, but if Apple can do some smart things, maybe they can catch up to this, but some of the design choices and the closed aspects, which have been great for privacy as a feature, may h…”

Prediction Open · timeframe Mar 2030
Wolfe: 30% to 50% of AI inference will occur on-device
“I think that you're going to end up doing a lot of inference on device. Meaning, instead of going, ah, to the cloud and typing a query, like, 30 to 50% of your inference may be on an Apple or an Android device.”
