Frontier AI models are expensive but they are not what you need for this use case. You can fine-tune a small open-weight model for Kinyarwanda and transaction tasks. That’s a few GPUs for days (weeks in the worst case scenario), costing under $10K. Inference is cheap too.
@ClaudineGasana The hardware needed to train or fine-tune a frontier model is expensive, and so is electricity and running inference. When the target customer is a small shop owner in Rwanda, it’s hard to justify anyone investing that kind of money.

You’re right, @EgideMurisa. Execution is where theory gets tested. However, the AI itself isn’t the hard part. The challenge is designing it so kiosk owners can adopt it without friction. From a an investor perspective, kiosks are transaction-heavy environments:. They have.
@ClaudineGasana Sounds good in theory, but easier said than done. What’s the ROI for an investor who puts up the resources to train the AI model and cover ongoing inference costs?.
