No it does not. This is about as “edge” as AI gets.
replyIn a general sense, edge just means moving the computation to the user, rather than in a central cloud (although the two aren’t mutually exclusive, eg Cloudflare Workers)
Your device is the ultimate edge. The next frontier would be running models on your wetware.
replyNot just running it on your wetware, but charging you for it.
replyCan't wait until AI companies go from mimicking human thought to figuring how to licensing those thoughts. ;)
Man can't wait for AI in my brain. And then intelligence will be pay to win.
replyIt depends, because edge is a meaningless term and people choose what they want for it. In 2022, we set up a call with a vendor for ‘edge’ AI. Their edge meant something like 5kW, and our edge was a single raspberry pi in the best case.
replyFor sure. 1000%. Anyone disagreeing with this has lost their marbles.
replyFor those that have lost their marbles: sure, people use words incorrectly, but that does mean we all have to use those words incorrectly.
In compute vernacular, "edge" means it's distributed in a way that the compute is close to the user (the "user" here is the device, not a person); "on device" means the compute is on the device. They do not mean the same thing.
