Edge Deployment

Domain: MLOps

🎯 Motivation

Running models on local devices (phones, IoT) instead of cloud servers. Lower latency, better privacy.

📋 Concrete Example

Edge: model runs on the phone. No data sent to cloud. Instant response. Private. But model must be small (compressed). Trade-off: size vs capability.

🔗 Analogy

A pocket dictionary vs a library - the dictionary (edge) is small and instant. The library (cloud) is comprehensive but requires travel. Edge deployment is the pocket dictionary.
