Well, it is not so much that it is special, but the models run near the application, and it should be inside the memory footprint and security perimeter of the CPU. This seems like a valid argument for a lot of enterprises. Thus far, the CPU is doing a lot of the inferring. Admittedly, there is not as much inferring outside of the hyperscalers. But it is coming.

All fixed. I dunno.

At the very least, there’s a full stop missing, but I suspect there’s more text missing also.
