I totally agree with Lotto here. Start to play with Local AI as soon as you can. I bet 2027 will be a relevant skill on the market.

If you’re not running models locally and learning the skills now
You will 100% miss out when sota models hit consumer hardware
You won’t have the skill set with hardware, you won’t know about inference engines, you won’t know about quants, you’ll be playing catch up with everyone else all at the same time
