- Trend toward compact, educational LLMs running on consumer devices (e.g., tiny LLM demystifier, Gemma 4 on iPhone).
- Growth of open‑source hardware projects enabling ambitious experiments like lunar‑signal bouncing with large antenna arrays.
- Increasing scrutiny of large‑tech software design alongside appreciation for extremely efficient, legacy‑era code (e.g., 40 KB game, GUI strategy criticism).
