* I was hoping for that this year, but: split of LLMs into databases and reasoning. Think small, capable PHI with pluggable information. Currently we're burning a lot of energy both to learn and process everything at once. The next step will be something closer to RAG, potentially selecting databases to load depending on topic, like a librarian. This will both enable more client-side applications and save lots of money for providers.
* Some AI provider seriously looking at / funding RWVK?
* (More) Healthcare issues in the US, spilling into other countries. (or just the beginning of them anyway - effects will last much longer and life expectancy will decline)
* Some companies seriously looking at AI as another manager / decision maker. Quietly, not as a publicity stunt like it's done now.
* Google search market share falling further. Maybe 85%, down from the current 90%. (more of a wish than a prediction)
* US policies / ideas around cryptocurrency will be wildly incoherent, causing big swings every month
But, for my curiosity: if you bought one of those what would you run on it? I see that Starfive claims they have Chromium[1] and there's reports of Firefox[2] so maybe in this "the browser is the OS" world that'd be sufficient
I'd just do all normal development on it. Nice power-efficient machines which push the multi architecture apps and aren't held back by Qualcomm hardware support would be amazing.
