> a burst of incoming traffic can share warm environments instead of mapping each request to a new one

But cold starts could still occur, especially in a low-traffic environment where requests come in seldomly?

I just remembered I created a website via Solo when it was released a couple years ago: https://soloist.ai/amarkota

Taking a quick look at the network traffic, the site does a POST to https://america.gov/api/chat with a JSON payload when submitting a query:

  {"language":"en","id":"VSvMeyCMKTX05oLW","messages":[{"parts":[{"type":"text","text":"how do I register my new business?"}],"id":"oHub5UDJ3iYARhao","role":"user"}],"trigger":"submit-message"}

So the user's query is hitting a server so to answer my own question, the answer is No to local inference / models.

Edit: PDF attachments and voice input are processed locally according to the site's privacy policy[1]. But they still use 3rd party 'AI Providers' that abide by a ZDR.

I am left to wonder how this is technically accomplished. Is inference running in the browser? Is the model downloaded to the user’s machine?

Thanks, we've been using firecracker VMs with AWS MicroVM[1] and Fly.io Sprites[1] but interested in using Workers instead

That is a nice sequence diagram[1]; I like how each endpoint param values are written out and the color distinctions. What tool did you use to create it?

> Hosting companies can change...Point your domain somewhere else when you need to move. That is a much healthier relationship with technology.

I went from Azure to Github for hosting so I guess my relationship with Microsoft ended up staying the same?

Our tenants live in our property that is in a known Airport Influence Area ("AIA")[1] but this year, they reported to us the noise associated with the airport's Instrument Approach Procedures have increased. Airplanes arriving at the airport fly less than 1,000 feet in elevation right above our neighborhood. Even worse, airplanes come in consecutively so the noise is back to back w/o much reprieve.

The Noise and Capacity Office allows to manually report[2] such aircraft but I'm wondering if this device can detect these aircrafts which can lead to report submission. Any insight on doing this is appreciated!
