On-device AI
Machine learning that runs entirely on hardware you own — your phone, your laptop, your home server — instead of being shipped off to a cloud GPU and back. Immich, Apple Photos, and a small-but-growing list of consumer apps do face, object, and scene recognition this way. It's the only architecture in which "the model sees your photos but nobody else does" is actually true.
