    So they literally agree not using an LLM would increase your framerate. Also what would the machine know that the Internet couldn‘t answer as or more quickly while using fewer resources anyway? I‘m just saying this is an actually bad use case for AI precisely because it relies on the very hardware you‘re likely allocating to something else when you need it while there are better alternatives already. 8B models are fairly limited and still won‘t run very quickly or at all on slightly less beefy graphics cards than their horrendously expensive flagships of recent years while you‘re running a recent game. There just aren‘t all that many resources you can snatch from the process without crashing it.

      Well, yes, but the point is that at the time that you’re using the tool you don’t need your frame rate maxed out anyway (the alternative would probably be alt-tabbing, where again you wouldn’t need your frame rate maxed out), so that downside seems kind of moot.

      Also what would the machine know that the Internet couldn‘t answer as or more quickly while using fewer resources anyway?

      If you include the user’s time as a resource, it sounds like it could potentially do a pretty good job of explaining, surfacing, and modifying game and system settings, particularly to less technical users.

      For how well it works in practice, we’ll have to test it ourselves / wait for independent reviews.
