Totally agree on the consumer and SMB play (which is why we're stealthily working on it :). I'm curious what capabilities the next generation of models (and HW) will provide that doesn't exist now. Considering Ryzen 395 / Digits / etc can achieve 40-50+ T/s on capable mid-size models (e.g., OSS120B/Qwen-Next/GLM Air) with some headroom for STT and a lean TTS, I think now is the time to enter but seems to me the 2 key things that are lacking are 1) reliable low-latency multi-modal streaming voice frameworks for STT+STT and 2) reliable fast and secure UI Computer use (without relying on optional accessibility tags/meta).

My greatest concern for local AI solutions like this is the centrality of email and the obvious security concerns surrounding email auth.
