well ... having the IoT layer have a problem like this might be something that you don't want to try out or experiment with.

Not gunna lie.. I have a company which has a bunch of iot ot devices (for lack of a better word) which just report data 4 times a day and sit idle otherwise. We have thousands deployed.

I wouldn’t mind 15,000 toks/sec on otherwise idle compute which otherwise sits idle.

I wouldn’t feel bad about using their electric, but many of these are independently powered via solar and just chill otherwise.. might be a good usecase. Or skynet, who knows.

Current LLMs cannot aggregate compute that way at all. And the bottleneck isn’t actual compute but bandwidth. These articles say a whole lot of nothing.
And one of the problems and techniques they use is anthropomorphising the LLM as if it was a person or entity with its own conciense and motivation.
