Every Muse User Gets 2 CPUs and 8GB in Meta's Cloud. Your Phone Already Has That

Edge AI adoption will be driven by ad-funded app companies like Meta cutting cloud costs, not chipmakers, with Qualcomm's Modular deal as key enabling software.

• Muse's hidden cloud cost: Every Meta Muse user gets a dedicated cloud VM with 2 vCPUs, 8GB RAM, and possibly 100GB storage — resources that sit idle once the task is done.
• AI PCs failed, agents might not: Intel's NPU-touting 'AI PC' push flopped because frontier LLMs (e.g. a 70B model) couldn't run well on laptops; smaller agentic tasks may succeed where that failed.
