I really believe in the future of local models.

From app developer and user, My main concern for now is bloating devices. Until we’ll have something like Apples foundation model where multiple apps could share the same model it means we have something horrible as Electron in the sense, every app is a fully blown model (browser in the electron story) instead of reusing the model.

With desktops we have DLL hell for years. But with sandboxed apps on mobile devices it becomes a bigger issue that I guess will/should be addressed by the OS.

For my app I’ve been trying to add some logic based on large model but for bloating a simple Swift app with 2-3GB of model or even few hundred MBs feels wrong doing and conflicting with code reusability concepts.
