Home machines need asynchronous designs to serve production AI

“A machine sitting in a home may not be able to serve a production workload unless, you know, maybe intelligently designed with asynchronous model — but definitely for an inference type of scenario you need that low-latency access to the user, and that can only be delivered by a professionally managed data center.” — 00:05:20
Context: A rare nuance/caveat in his local-compute thesis: latency-sensitive inference still favors professional data centers; async architectures are the path for home hardware.
