Ask HN: Will we see another home computer revolution (in the context of LLMs)?
... or fat client era?
At the moment Chat-GPT and other instruct-based models show what's possible with modern LLM models. Although most SOTA models need cloud-compute to predict, it's feasible to assume that they might work on beefy standard desktops in the next 5 to 10 years (IMHO).
In particular I think there will be a lot of ethical questions and legal work for companies to sell LLMs as SaaS, and because of fear to "recommend stuff against the status-quo", they might be inferior to "open" (unconstrained) models and that might be just possible for private persons (at first).

Now, historically we had:
