“Another interesting thing would be to run it on consumer hardware for people to run it in their own machines at home. Like optimizations don't translate 100%, but translate somewhat close to that. And then we can do extra work to translate more of it. So doing these optimizations in different types of hardware and combining the pipeline in a way that it's even more efficient, I think that's what we are gonna do in the next coming weeks.”
