It always had tremendous potential and never went anywhere.
LLMs require either more local power (=way more expensive devices) or more server power, which someone has to pay. Power users aren't paying, as they;ll get better results through their computer or phone to access the LLM of their choice. Casual users aren't paying either, as what they want to do is too low stakes to warrant higher costs.
Amazon will probably never completely kill Alexa, but I don't see them investing much more to advance the product in any significant ways.
