I’ve been really interested in on-device ML for most of my career, and now I wonder how valuable these benefits really are. LLM vendor APIs are pretty performant these days, security is security, and with an on-device model you have to provide updates every time a new model comes out.



You don’t have to bundle the weights as an asset, you can do over-the-air updates, new weights are simply downloaded.


Neat, but not really addressing my point. My point is that you still need to roll out changes and LLM ApIs just work.
