Embedded systems can make network calls to powerful, GPU equipped servers.
- Chu4eeno 5mo agoThey really shouldn't, though.
- charcircuit 5mo agoIt can offer a ton of user value. There is a whole industry built upon this idea, Internet of Things.
- ceejayoz 5mo agoIoT wasn't not built on "send all the data off to a hosted GenAI". It predated them by quite a few years.
- charcircuit 5mo agoThe GPUs were doing video transcoding instead of GenAI.
- ceejayoz 5mo agoYou can run OpenCV on a GPU-less Raspberry Pi or other IoT device just fine. And most IoT devices aren't doing video transcoding at all. You're making some very odd assertions in this thread.
- charcircuit 5mo ago>And most IoT devices aren't doing video transcoding at all. The data gets streamed to the cloud where servers with GPUs transcode it. I'm pointing out that IoT devices historically have reached out to servers with GPUs even before GenAI.
- ceejayoz 5mo agoMost IoT devices have no camera and communicate with servers that have no need for a GPU at all.
- ceejayoz 5mo agoSure. Claude does that. "Cogitated for 1m 50s" doesn't work for real-time applications.
- charcircuit 5mo agoYou can submit many queries in parallel to increase throughout. Smaller models and faster hardware can reduce the time per query too.
