The Edge Revolution
By 2026, most AI inference happens on-device, not in the cloud. This enables privacy, low latency, and offline operation.
Hardware Advances
- Neural Processing Units (NPUs): Now standard in phones, laptops
- Memory computing: Compute inside memory chips
- Spiking neural networks: Event-driven computation
Frameworks
- TensorFlow Lite Micro: 20KB models on microcontrollers
- ExecuTorch: PyTorch for mobile
- ONNX Runtime: Cross-platform inference
