What is Generative AI at the Edge?

What is Generative AI at the Edge?

This is the first episode of the fourth season of the Aerospace & Defense Technology podcast, where the topical focus is the impact of digital engineering and how the use of new digital tools are re-defining aerospace and defense systems design. This 4-episode season will be published weekly in August.

The first episode features Tyler Saltsman, CEO of EdgeRunner AI, a new startup that is focused on enabling the concept of “Generative AI at the Edge.” EdgeRunner AI recently participated in the Act4Aero Conference at Stanford University, where the U.S. Air Force and Space Force announced new partnerships with AI pioneers such as Saltsman’s startup.

In July, EdgeRunner AI emerged from stealth and announced its official launch with a $5.5 million seed funding round led by Four Rivers Group with participation from Madrona Ventures. The startup describes its mission as developing small, task-specific Ultra-Efficient Language Models (UELMs) that operate without needing internet access, and providing an industrial type of Generative AI that can run locally on any device or hardware.
