That's definitely super-enthousiast territory. Paying 80 bucks a month for AI is more than 99.99% of people would be willing to do
This will be considered very cheap within the year IMO. The value you get from AI is exponentially increasing and like all tech just takes some time to ramp up. Cell phones, internet and many other amenities when they came out many people were not willing to pay for but that all changed and considering how important AI tech is this will also be the case especially considering if its 100% private such as for that cartridge.

Perhaps in some cases, but the value I personally and professionally got out of LLMs reached a limit a while ago and has since kind of fluctuated between that limit and a bit less.
If the best model was instant, like the demo here, it could certainly provide more value, I guess, but I think the limit I'd quickly hit is the same one as now, which is how much of it do I want to produce, for what reasons?
That's because the super-enthusiast will upgrade in 4 months when a better model is released. The casual user would keep it for years. A year of claude at the lowest plan is almost $300
