Ethan Mollick：没有前沿模型加持的家用中枢设备将越来越不济
Mollick 用 Codex、OpenClaw 和 Siri 的对比说明：家用设备的护城河变成了模型能力。做智能家居、消费硬件或做产品决策的人应该看看，选底层模型会直接影响用户体验。
沃顿商学院教授 Ethan Mollick 在 X 上发文指出，家用中枢设备若缺少强大的 AI 模型支撑，将成为日益明显的短板。他举例说，在一台配备 Codex、Code 与 OpenClaw 的中央电脑上使用过之后，再去用 Siri 或 Alexa，差距立刻显现。
他认为前沿模型的表现接近科幻作品里的家用电脑，交互更加直觉，能真正理解并执行复杂任务。相比之下，Siri 和 Alexa 背后的模型能力不足，导致体验断层。
这篇文章的观点指向智能家居与消费级硬件厂商的竞争要点：模型能力正在成为核心差异化因素，而非硬件本身。
Not having a good AI model powering your central home device will be a growing liability. You see the difference when you have a central PC with Codex/Code/OpenClaw and you try to use Siri or Alexa. Frontier models act like the household computer from sci-fi & are more intuitive.
