Local inference: voice transcription closest to PMF, 100 agents on a laptop still far off
willcb · x · 2026-10-19
In a follow-up on local compute, willcb says voice transcription is the closest use case to PMF for local, personalized inference, and local tab-complete also makes sense—but running 100 agents on your laptop won't be realistic any time soon. Local inference serves a fraction of power-user workloads rather than replacing the cloud.
