This seems an incredibly vague poll - what is meant by ‘AI capable’?

I’m able to run Meta’s LLaMA model on a six year old laptop, and a raspberry PI can use most LLMs as a front end.

Are you looking for generative AI ran locally? Additional servers for on-prem computation?

The logical answer would be to increase spending on virtualisation instead of end user machines…
