FROM THE FRONTIER

The pin that could pop the AI bubble (and Apple’s contrarian bet)

Made with Midjourney

The AI spending boom. Big Tech is spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure in 2025 alone, primarily to build massive data centers that can power the future of AI. But what if the future of AI doesn’t require immense data centers?

Do we really need data centers? Edge AI, also known as on-device inference, is when AI models run locally on your phone or laptop rather than a remote server. These small language models can match the performance of models twice their size — while fitting on a smartphone.

Apple is betting big on this shift. Apple Intelligence relies on a roughly 3-billion-parameter model built directly on iPhones and Macs. Because the foundation models run locally on the user's device, it offers greater privacy to users and no inference costs to developers.

The bottom line. If edge AI advances faster than expected, it could trigger a sharp reversal in AI infrastructure spending — a scenario that would have dramatic ripple effects. That said, the Cloud still dominates training and heavy compute, so the most likely short-term outcome is a hybrid future.

Rocket.new brings Precision Mode to AI app building. Over 100 structured / and @ commands turn prompts or Figma designs into production-ready apps with frontend, backend, workflows, and integrations—less chatting, more execution.
