The Edge AI Revolution is Here
The cloud’s dominance is being challenged—and the Generative Edge AI community is leading the charge.
Across three groundbreaking EDGE AI FOUNDATION forums, we’ve witnessed a seismic shift: the cloud must evolve beyond its role as a centralized AI powerhouse. After years of fixed-function AI investments at the edge, a new era of practical innovation is exploding into the gap—and it’s happening faster than anyone predicted.
