At EntreConnect’s “Ultra-Efficient AI” event, experts underscored the massive (and overlooked) opportunity in Edge and on-device AI—reshaping industries, and everyday tech.
⭐ Yubei Chen (UC Davis & AIZIP):
🔹Edge & Endpoint devices generate 100x more data and offer 100x more compute capabilities than the cloud.
🔹AI Efficiency gap: Human brains use ~100M tokens vs. Llama3’s 13T—closing this gap is key to scalable AI.
AIZIP’s ultra-efficient AI (voice, vision, SLMs) is closing the efficiency gap.
⭐ Brandon X. (Analog Devices):
🔹 Why edge wins: Low latency, privacy, and 60x compute growth since 2017 enable “God’s view” proactive intelligence.
🔹Interesting use cases: Noise-canceling AI, Rokid AI+ AR glasses, and hyper-personalized assistants.
✅ The next frontier? Systems as efficient as the human brain. –
