- Hybrid designs blend on-device processing with cloud inference to protect privacy.
- Assistant quality is now a product and investor pressure point, not just a feature.
- Regulators, especially in Europe, are slowing rollout to test privacy boundaries.
- The new benchmark is context-aware help across devices, not simple voice commands.
