My guess is one thing to watch out for are local models. Qwen and Gemma are getting pretty good and we're getting to a point where we won't melt a GPU on a lower parameter model. In the next year or so, I could see laptops with 8GB VRAM being able to do quite a bit with 7B to 9B local models. By the end of the decade, things could be very interesting with them if they keep improving at their current rate. =D

i agree! that's why i want to be spending a lot of time using it, now

I also think that the AI bubble will burst soon because of the technological limitations, and smaller, but more specialized models will become popular.
