High-end computing is moving back toward local capability.

Devices like the Surface Laptop Ultra are being built to run large AI models directly on-device, rather than relying on external infrastructure.

For years, portability and compute sat on opposite ends. Heavy workloads required desktops or cloud access, while mobile devices prioritised efficiency. That boundary is now compressing.

Running models locally changes how latency, cost, and data exposure are managed. It also shifts deployment decisions, with parts of the workload moving closer to users rather than remaining centralised.

Hardware is beginning to split along this line. Some systems optimise for general use, while others are designed to operate as independent compute nodes for AI workloads.

6/ Where these platforms establish early positioning, they tend to shape how financial services evolve locally, especially once lending, savings, and payments begin to sit on the same digital layer.

1/ Nubank and Revolut expanding into Mexico is less about geographic growth and more about where financial systems still have room to be rebuilt. Mexico sits in a position where demand exists but traditional banking coverage has not fully caught up.

[OGBC Group @OGBCGroup]

5/ For capital, these markets represent expansion through participation rather than displacement. Growth comes from bringing new users into the system rather than shifting existing ones between providers.
