EDGE AI FOUNDATION

Future Builders of Edge AI AI is moving beyond the screen. The next generation of intelligent systems won't just process information. They'll perceive their environment, make decisions, and interact with the physical world in real time. Today's Future Builders of Edge AI are advancing research in robotics, embodied intelligence, and agentic AI, helping bring intelligence closer to where people, machines, and environments meet. Swipe through to meet this week's researchers. The EDGE AI FOUNDATION is proud to support the 2026 ML and Systems Rising Stars program through our Scholarship Fund in partnership with MLCommons.

“The edge” isn't one thing. So why do we keep talking about it like it is? A regional data center. A factory gateway. A smartphone. A tiny sensor running on less than 1W. They're all part of the edge continuum, but the compute, connectivity, security, latency, and orchestration requirements can look completely different. The new EDGE AI FOUNDATION Taxonomy creates a common framework for talking about these differences and the tradeoffs that shape real-world edge AI deployment. A huge thank you to contributors Jason Shepherd of Atym , Rob Woolley of Wind River , and Eric Smiley of embedUR systems systems for helping move this important work forward. Read the blog and download the full paper to explore the taxonomy, from Data Center Edge to Constrained Device Edge.

Future Builders of Edge AI Great AI starts with great hardware. Breakthroughs in edge AI don't happen through software alone. They depend on advances in computer architecture, hardware-software co-design, and efficient AI acceleration. Today's Future Builders of Edge AI are helping build the foundation that makes intelligent systems faster, more efficient, and ready for real-world deployment.

Can a small language model actually understand what's happening in a video? Not just identify objects—but create meaningful context. That's exactly what we'll explore in our next EDGE AI Foundation workshop.  Andrea Basso, Ph.D., of MITO Technology will demonstrate how to build efficient multimodal AI pipelines using lightweight language models, computer vision, and embedded NPUs. You'll learn how to: • Optimize llama.cpp • Quantize multimodal models • Deploy YOLO on STM32MP2 • Build grounded AI systems that turn video into meaningful narratives If you're building the next generation of edge AI applications, this workshop is packed with practical techniques you can use immediately. 📅 July 23 🕗 8:00 AM PT Register here: https://lnkd.in/gZr9H5GY Where do you see multimodal AI having the biggest impact at the edge? #edgeAI #ComputerVision #EmbeddedAI s #EDGEAIFOUNDATION

Join us in welcoming DeepGate as a new Strategic Partner! DeepGate is making it easier to develop, optimize, and deploy AI models across leading microcontrollers through a vendor-agnostic platform. Their technology enables developers to build more capable AI for smart wearables, audio, vision, and industrial applications while maximizing performance on resource-constrained hardware. Their compiler delivers up to 2× faster inference and over 3× lower RAM usage than TensorFlow Lite Micro, while their model optimization technology produces models that run up to 45× faster using over 10× less RAM, all while maintaining accuracy. This enables more capable AI on smaller, lower-cost embedded devices. "We're delighted to join the EDGE AI Foundation and contribute to a growing community that's connecting the ecosystem, accelerating innovation, and bringing capable, efficient AI to billions of devices. We're excited to work together with the community to push the efficiency frontier of AI on embedded systems and make those capabilities accessible to developers bringing intelligent products to life." – Luke T., CEO We're excited to have DeepGate join our growing ecosystem and look forward to advancing the future of efficient Edge AI together. https://lnkd.in/dSHWTwGX Jinger Zeng Pete Bernard Rosina Haberl Patrick Ward Michael Kuptz
