Why it matters
The constraint on edge AI is not compute, it is RAM, and it is getting worse: phone makers are shipping less of it this year, and a 6GB Raspberry Pi costs 2.5 times what it did at launch. So Cormac Brick's team at Google AI Edge spends its effort making models small enough to fit.
My takeaway: Why Large? Tiny LMs & Agents on Edge/Robotics — Cormac Brick, Google is an agent-security signal. The practical read is that autonomy, memory, tool permissions, and third-party integrations are the control surface that needs threat modeling and monitoring.
