The problem with LLMs is that they require immense compute power. I don't see how LLMs will get into the households any time soon. It's not economical.

You realize the current systems run in the cloud?

Well yea. You could slap Gemini Google-Home today. You wouldn't even need a new device for that probably. The reason they don't do that is econimical.

My point is that LLMs aren't replacing those devices. They are the same thing essentially. Just one a trimmed version of the other for economic reasons.
