Do you think the inclusion of AI is some new departure? Google has declared itself as "AI-first" for the past 8 years[1]. There's been neural cores included in every Pixel since the Pixel 4.
It would be nice to be able to run llama.cpp on my phone but if I had the choice between that and a root shell and c compiler I'd definitely take the shell.
Heh I guess that's a good point. All I have is a ten year old iPhone just to run Cisco DUO for work and there seems to be no way to run llama.cpp on it even with a very small model.
Occasionally I'll use i.sh to ssh into a decent computer but it would be nice to be able to just run normal software on it.
