This is a ridiculous mindset. Llama 3.1 8B can do lots of things today and it'll still be able to do those things tomorrow.

If you baked one of these into a smart speaker that could call tools to control lights and play music, it will still be able to do that when Llama 4 or 5 or 6 comes out.

If you pay $1,500 for a Mistral ASIC that is beaten by a $15 Qwen ASIC that comes out six months later, you'd be feeling pretty dang ridiculous.

I'm equally capable of making up numbers to support my perspective but I don't see the point.

I'd pay for $100 chip that replaces anthropic sub and works 10x faster, even for 12 months.

Edit: assuming model owners will let this happen, which they wont

They'll be perfect for an appliance like the Rick and Morty butter robot.

In the real world, theres talking refrigerators who dont need to know how to recite shakespeare.

On the upside, Shakespeare isn't going to change soon.
