Edge AI and On-Device Inference

Edge AI and On-Device Inference Edge AI brings smart software closer to the data it uses. On-device inference runs a neural model directly on a device such as a phone, a camera, or an IoT hub. This keeps data local and reduces the need to send information to distant servers. The result is faster decisions and fewer network dependencies. Why on-device inference matters Decisions happen quickly when the model runs on the device. Users notice lower latency in apps and cameras. It also helps when internet access is limited, and it improves privacy because less data leaves the device. ...
