iamtrask: AI's future is server-client — your client LLM map-reduces the whole internet
sebpaquet · x · 2026-11-09
- The prompt: robertskmiles vents, "I never want to use your AI assistant on your website. I want to use my AI assistant on your website."
- iamtrask's thesis: AI will be server-client — not a singleton AI mind or an autonomous multi-agent civilization. Companies keep serving server-side LLM endpoints; users bring their own client LLM.
- The picture: send your prompt to a billion sources, their servers respond, and your client LLM synthesizes — effectively map-reducing the entire internet.
- Implication: it's the end of the attention economy, because you'll finally be able to listen at scale.
