Next Generation AI: Transitioning Inference from the Cloud to the Edge

Deploying AI inference at the edge—on smartphones, appliances, industrial devices, and vehicles—promises faster, private, and energy-efficient intelligence. Expedera’s packet-based NPU architecture delivers up to 90% utilization and dramatic reductions in memory movement compared to conventional approaches, enabling next-generation real-time AI capabilities. This white paper examines technical challenges, architectural innovations, and benchmarks to help OEMs successfully transition to edge-native AI.

While the benefits of edge AI are compelling, this paradigm introduces new technical and operational challenges. In the following white paper, Expedera examines both the opportunities and the hurdles faced when moving AI inference to the device, guiding stakeholders through this next generation of intelligent computing.
