Constraints to Achieving Widespread Use of Large Language Models and AI
Hardware constraints, sophistication and accuracy of models, and transitioning to new consumer interfaces are key challenges in the implementation of large language models (LLMs) and AI technology. While hardware limitations affect the performance of models, companies like Nvidia are making significant progress in this area. Additionally, the shift towards AI replacing human tasks in the workplace may not necessarily require LLMs to run on consumer devices, with cloud-based solutions being adequate for many digital tasks. GPT-4 is already able to perform at 60% of the median human worker's capabilities, showcasing the potential impact of AI in the workforce. On the consumer hardware side, Apple's custom silicon chips give them a competitive advantage in running LLMs on their devices, enabling new computer experiences and interactions. The evolution towards on-device LLMs could revolutionize personal computing, leading to new ways of interacting with technology and incorporating AI into daily activities, such as using AI assistants for decision-making and personalized recommendations.
