Edge AI
Edge AI refers to running ML inference close to where data is generated. Compared with cloud-only designs, it reduces latency, saves bandwidth, and keeps sensitive data on-site. This tag aggregates patterns for choosing models, selecting accelerators, and instrumenting systems for observability. Topics include quantization (INT8/FP16), batching strategies for real-time streams, camera and sensor pipelines, and mixed-precision math on CPUs/GPUs/NPUs. We also discuss fail-open vs. fail- safe behavior, update channels for models, and auditability for regulated industries. Practical, measurement-driven posts help teams reach deterministic performance within tight power envelopes.
