Tech companies are shifting AI workloads toward open models to reduce inference costs while maintaining usable output quality. Uber reported cutting cost per AI request by 34% and cost per AI session by 52%, keeping March costs flat despite higher usage. This change drives more benchmarking, model routing, cheaper open-model deployment, and prompt/request optimizations to lower spending without a noticeable quality drop.
The article argues Apple should build a single “home computer” that merges a Wi‑Fi router, an AI-powered smart home hub, and local storage. It points to John Ternus’s first keynote as Apple CEO, where he described an “intelligent personal hub” focused on local processing and privacy. It says an upcoming smart home hub should act as infrastructure (not just a screen-based interface) so it can run tasks locally in your home.
