right, 888 kB would be impossible for local inference

however, it is really not that impressive for just a client

It's not completely impossible, depending on what your expectations are. That language model that was built out of redstone in minecraft had... looks like 5 million parameters. And it could do mostly coherent sentences.

Ummm...

  > 5 million parameters
Which is a lot more than 888kb... Supposing your ESP32 could use qint8 (LOL) that's still 1 byte per parameter and the k in kb stands for thousand, not million.

I disagree, in the future it might be possible. But perhaps not in English, but in some more formal (yet fuzzy) language with some basic epistemology.

I mean, there is a lambda calculus self-interpreter in 29 bytes. How many additional logical rules are required for GAI inference? Maybe not that many as people think. Understanding about 1000 concepts of basic english (or say, lojban) might well be sufficient. It is possible this can be encoded in 800kB, we just don't know how.
