Solo dev prioritizes on-device AI privacy over large-scale training

A solo developer is focusing on on-device AI models for privacy and local data processing, rather than large-scale training infrastructure. They have developed and released an on-device OCR model for a receipt scanner app, but found the Apple App Store review process to be a significant hurdle. AI

    Reading news about researchers breaking the 'memory wall' for large-scale AI training. It's a big deal on paper, but for a solo dev like me, it's a long way from a research paper to an API I can actually use in an iOS app. The real bottleneck isn't the model's memory, it's the co…
