Yes my thoughts as well. The tech was so expensive I guess that they had a need to test / run it to proof it’s private? I mean the model to find landmarks in your photos could run locally as well or? Ok I’m not 100% sure here.

I assume that the model couldn’t run locally for some reason. Probably either uses too much power or needs too much memory.
