Gurley explains Strawberry requires 10X processing for linear improvement, meaning 10-100X inference costs for better solutions.
“in order to get linear improvement, you have to do maybe 10X the amount of processing. And this is all inference. So what are the implications of that?”
Gurley argues smartphones enable apps to replace expensive dedicated embedded devices at dramatically lower cost.
“I mean we were talking earlier about local, the things you can do now that I can write an app instead of building a dedicated embedded device that would have cost $2, it's night and day.”
