Alexa and LLMs are fundamentally not too different from each other. It’s just a slightly different architecture and most importantly a much larger network.
The problem with LLMs is that they require immense compute power.
I don’t see how LLMs will get into the households any time soon. It’s not economical.
Well yea. You could slap Gemini Google-Home today. You wouldn’t even need a new device for that probably. The reason they don’t do that is econimical.
My point is that LLMs aren’t replacing those devices. They are the same thing essentially. Just one a trimmed version of the other for economic reasons.

To train. But you can run a relatively simple one like phi-3 on quite modest hardware.
The immense computing power for AI is needed for training LLMs, it’s far less for running a pre-trained model on a local machine.
