Um, an example of this is people-- A lot of people want local inference, and somehow they assume that like the problem is solved now because we're gonna have open source models,

But from like a global allocation perspective, actually, it's quite terrible to have everybody like have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used- Mm.
