AI Inference on the Edge: How Embedded Chips in Cars, Cameras, and Appliances Actually Work
Edge inference is not cloud AI in a smaller box. It is a different silicon problem where every milliwatt and millisecond is a fixed constraint, not a knob. Here is how purpose-built NPUs, aggressive quantization, and three very different power budgets, in cars, cameras, and appliances, actually

Model Distillation: How Small Models Learn to Punch Above Their Weight
Training a tiny model to mimic a giant one sounds like a compromise. It is actually a distinct training discipline, and done right it produces models that beat their parameter count in the ways that matter for shipping AI. With an interactive look at the dark knowledge a soft label carries.
