Calling in-model simulation a "CPU" easily leads people to mistakenly believe it has hardware-level fidelity; a more accurate description is "a deterministic instruction interpreter based on a language model."

UnverifiedSimulating a CPU with a language model faces the dual constraints of context length and state precision; the longer the program, the more the key to the method's practicality is whether the model's attention mechanism can carry discrete states losslessly.78% similarUnverifiedThe "speed" of local inference depends heavily on hardware; running a small-parameter model on a high-end GPU can deliver a low-latency experience, but the conclusion may reverse if switched to CPU inference or a large-parameter model.72% similarUnverifiedSpeculative execution draws on branch prediction technology from modern CPUs, trading a small amount of redundant computation for reduced latency.70% similarUnverifiedSo-called "the model runs on-device" usually means deploying a parameter-compressed model (possibly quantized, such as 4-bit or 8-bit) locally, with inference performed by the device's own CPU, GPU, or neural engine rather than via a remote server.70% similarVerifiedBecause large language models are based on probabilistic sampling, even if instructions are written in the context, the model may still forget or skip certain instructions in complex reasoning chains, which is known as instruction-following instability.69% similar
