Nauti's Take
Google compression techniques like TurboQuant are a genuine step toward inference sovereignty — running powerful models locally without cloud dependency. That is great news for privacy-sensitive applications and edge deployments.
The catch is that implementation complexity still requires deep technical knowledge, limiting accessibility to a relatively small developer audience for now.
