    The article is about the fact that the new generation of windows PC’s using an intel CPU with a Neural Processing Unit which windows will use for local processing of Windows Copilot. The author thinks this is not reason enough to buy a computer with this capability.

      You’re totally right. I started reading the article, got distracted, and thought I’d already read it. I agree with you then.

      I still don’t trust Microsoft to not phone all your inputs home though.

      Usually there is a massive VRAM requirement. local neural networking silicon doesn’t solve that, but using a more lightweight and limited model could.

      Basically don’t expect even gpt3, but SOMETHING could be run locally.
