Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin wrote in a post that he is testing a community-developed offline local knowledge application for mobile devices. The app works significantly better than the version he built himself two months ago, though it still lags behind models running on laptops in solving challenging problems. His evaluations included queries such as "the best vegan restaurant in my current city"—notably, all such apps currently perform poorly on travel-specific questions.
