a16z General Partner Anjney Midha joins the podcast to discuss what&#8217;s happening with hardware for artificial intelligence. Nvidia might have cornered the market on training workloads for now, but he believes there&#8217;s a big opportunity at the inference layer — especially for wearable or similar devices that can become a natural part of our everyday interactions. 
Here&#8217;s one small passage that speaks to his larger thesis on where we&#8217;re heading:
&#8220;I think why we&#8217;re seeing so many developers flock to Ollama is because there is a lot of demand from consumers to interact with language models in private ways. And that means that they&#8217;re going to have to figure out how to get the models to run locally without ever leaving without ever the user&#8217;s context, and data leaving the user&#8217;s device. And that&#8217;s going to result, I think, in a renaissance of new kinds of chips that are capable of handling massive workloads of inference on device.
&#8220;We are yet to see those unlocked, but the good news is that open source models are phenomenal at unlocking efficiency.  The open source language model ecosystem is just so ravenous.&#8221;
