Is this real? How could they possible restrict local AI?
Licensing models for any IP is real, but I don't see how they could restrict people running what they want on their devices. It is already well established that you have to pay for software unless it is free.
If this is about PC manufacturers making the NPU chip carry a subscription model, well the market will sort that out.
