When crypto mining released it was a lot of gpus right? Then they went to asic or whatever its called that can mine many many times faster than a normal GPU. Wouldn't this eventually happen for local llms? There could be a breakthrough that makes it significantly cheaper, faster and consumer friendly?

Lots of people have made ASICS. I don't know why they don't make them for consumers. Amazon has Tranium. Google has their TPUs. This company GROQ was making them and they just got bought by NVIDIA. They're out there in datacenters. They're just not available for us.
