holy fucking shit. anthropic thinks we could be just MONTHS away from small ai models being capable of replicating themselves across everyday devices without needing a datacenter. their frontier red team found that a 9b model could get inference running on 8 out of 9 hardware types tested. and larger models are already capable of completing the full replication process in simplified environments. we’re talking about ai agents potentially spreading across smart tvs, cameras, appliances and other connected devices on their own. what the actual fuck.
