On-Device and Edge AI — When AI Moves Inside the Device
AI inference, once confined to the cloud, is moving into smartphones, PCs, and embedded devices. This post examines the three drivers (latency, privacy, cost), the rise of NPUs and on-device LLMs, and the investment and

We lay out why edge AI runs inference on the device instead of the cloud (latency, privacy, cost) and the concept of the NPU that makes it possible. From Apple Neural Engine, Qualcomm, Edge TPU, and ARM Ethos to model co

A complete technical breakdown of how NPUs differ from CPUs and GPUs, how every transformer operation maps to hardware, and why LLM inference is memory-bound — not compute-bound. From Apple ANE to Qualcomm Hexagon, Groq
