Edge Initiative 2025: The Trends and Challenges of Leveraging Generative AI at the Edge

Tim Vehling, Executive VP Global Sales & Business Development
at EdgeCortix, discusses the company's focus on delivering near-cloud-level AI performance at the edge with high energy efficiency and reduced operating costs. He highlights the rapid growth in AI model size and complexity, emphasizing the challenges of deploying generative AI on edge devices due to increasing compute and memory demands.

EdgeCortix's SAKURA-II platform addresses these challenges by offering a multimodal, high-efficiency AI accelerator with robust DRAM bandwidth and capacity, making it suitable for running advanced models, such as vision transformers and large language models, on embedded systems. Tim concludes by outlining their full-stack solution, recent innovations such as running generative AI on Raspberry Pi, and the company's roadmap for even more powerful next-generation edge AI architectures.
