Bolt has the ultimate end solution of course - why rent a computer when u have a much more powerful one for free sitting on every desk

Incoming CPU shortage is real As clouds get tapped of their supply, agent co’s will increasingly explore on-device compute (everyone already has a CPU in pocket/on desk!)
With foreground agents rising, we expect this graph to get even steeper this year

One Sentence Summary
Swyx highlights Bolt's approach of leveraging powerful local device hardware as a solution to rising cloud costs and impending CPU shortages.
Summary
In response to Eric Simons' warning about a looming cloud CPU shortage, swyx argues that Bolt (referring to the WebContainer-based technology by StackBlitz) offers the ideal architectural solution. Instead of 'renting' increasingly scarce and expensive cloud compute, Bolt utilizes the 'free' and often superior processing power already available on users' local machines. This shift toward on-device compute is presented as a critical evolution for supporting the high resource demands of modern AI agents and development environments.
