Local learning eliminates the cloud round trip, and eliminating the round trip eliminates both latency and a surveillance surface. - **Canonical cluster:** [[wiki/Neuromorphic Computing|Neuromorphic Computing]] - **INF-0186 — Plausible.** Cloud-hosted neuromorphic services let developers target the architecture without owning it, which is how GPUs became ubiquitous in machine learning. Access model, not device performance, determines which substrates accumulate software ecosystems. - **Canonical cluster:** [[wiki/Neuromorphic Computing|Neuromorphic Computing]] <!-- END DEEP INFERENCE ATTRACTORS 2026-09-11 -->
