Mesh LLM Won’t Give You a Chatbot. That’s Exactly Why It Matters.
Mesh LLM promises distributed AI compute across ordinary machinesβbut the real bottleneck isn’t GPU power, it’s memory bandwidth and network latency. The approach won’t give you a real-time chatbot, and that’s exactly the point. The most interesting AI applications ahead won’t be the ones that respond instantly, but the ones that think slowly in the background: batch processing, background agents, and scientific computing where latency is irrelevant and cost is everything.
