Sometimes I visualize a setup like this [0], based on 2D art by Simon Stålenhag. Someone has their home robot sitting on a desk connected to their old PC with thick cabling, dumping endless lines of each subsystem's <think> logs to diagnosis why it did something weird earlier in the day. Systems pushing 750+ tokens per second per subsystem might even be considered on the slow side for realtime tasks by then.
