The chip in my S25+ already does some AI stuff locally (like photo editing w/o phoning home).

Also, my desktop system doesn't draw anywhere near 1000W even at full load (I've never seen it hit 400W on my Kill-A-Watt even while stress-testing), with a higher-end GPU and 8 core/16 thread CPU, but I take your point there. And I'd add even with a lot more power than 80W (and 12GB of VRAM) locally-run Ollama is still pretty dang limited.
