QuantumQuillQuester · reddit · 2026-10-02
A developer building mobile-native AI agent systems (React Native/Expo with mixed local and cloud LLM pipelines) asks the community where the biggest production bottleneck lies for multi-step agentic workflows. Their friction points: token latency over cellular, local state persistence, and keeping context windows manageable without exhausting on-device memory. They ask whether others offload orchestration to a backend or handle state client-side, and which stacks people lean on in 2026.
