Alex Cheema(@alexocheema):With cloud inference, you're sharing a machine with 1,000 other users. You are a retention/ROI data point on someone's analytics dashboard. Locally, you own the hardware - it's all yours. You can tune it however you like. There's no throughput/interactivity tradeoff and no competing incentives.
