We're in agreement that not all problem domains are amenable to data center compute. Those that don't have internet, etc.

But for consumer software that can be internet connected, data center GPU is dominating local edge compute. That's simply because the models are being designed to utilize a lot of VRAM.

I think the concept/term Edge has been diluted in meaning... Near edge, far edge, etc. It includes everything from truly remote ultra-low power compute to essentially a branched local data center that is certainly closer to the cloud if you ask me.

"Not on the trunk" isn't a sufficient threshold for me nor is "not the cloud" a good filter.
