Beschreibung (Original)
Xiaomi and Alibaba just went after the last layer of local AI they don't own: the box on your desk. This is what a local AI box actually does, why the spec on the sticker is the wrong one, and whether you should buy one.
Dedicated AI boxes (NVIDIA DGX Spark, AMD Strix Halo mini PCs, the big-memory Mac Studio) sell you 128GB and up of model memory for the price of a bare DDR5 kit. The number that decides how fast a local LLM talks is memory bandwidth, not the petaflop headline. Two Chinese announcements landed six days apart, and the buying advice changes depending on which model you plan to run.

Transcript (Auto-Caption, Auszug — Anfang)
Xiaomi just showed a dedicated AI box with 1.22 terabytes per second of memory bandwidth, the one spec that decides how fast a local model talks. Six days earlier, Alibaba claimed its new RISC-V chip [music] runs a 27 billion parameter model at 30 tokens a second with no GPU in the box. China already dominates the local AI model leaderboards. This month, DeepSeek gave away the harness that runs them. The box under your desk is the last layer they don't own. And now they're coming for it. Carmakers watched Chinese EVs make this exact opening move and laughed. Will these AI boxes compete with regular machines, and does it make sense to buy one?
Three years ago, a local AI machine meant a gaming GPU, and the wall you hit was VRAM. 24 gigs bought your model a seat, and everything bigger stayed in the cloud. Two things broke that wall. Compression squeezed [music] models down to a fraction of their size, and the new mixture-of-experts models store hundreds [music] of billions of parameters, but only wake a few per word. So, capacity became more important than raw speed. Apple had accidentally built the right machine years earlier when it gave Macs one big memory pool shared between CPU [music] and GPU. The industry followed, and the dedicated AI box was born. Nvidia's [music] DGX Spark, AMD's Strix Halo machines, the big memory Mac Studio, 128 gigs and up, sold on AI performance. Then, the Spark taught everyone what a box really is. It ships with a one petaflop headline, and reviewers measured a dense 70 billion parameter model writing under three tokens per second on it. The petaflop measures compute, and compute is the part local inference barely uses. It sets how fast a box reads your prompt, but the speed you feel is the talking speed. To write each word, a model reads all of its [music] active weights out of [...]

WHAT IS A LOCAL AI BOX? (Definition aus der Beschreibung)
A local AI box is a small computer built around one big pool of unified memory shared between CPU and GPU, sold for running large language models on your own hardware instead of in the cloud. Capacity decides which model fits. Memory bandwidth decides how fast it writes each word. Compute mostly sets prefill, the speed it reads your prompt. That is why a 273 GB/s box with 128GB can hold a model an RTX 5090 cannot, and still lose badly on tokens per second.
