Edge Infer

EdgeInfer enables efficient edge intelligence by running small AI models, including embeddings and OnnxModels, on resource-constrained devices like Android, iOS, or MCUs for real-time decision-making.

Architecture:

Platform support (by Design):

• Android, iOS
• Linux, Windows, Mac,
• Raspberry Pi, MCU

Todos

• [x] Inference wrapper
  • [x] Onnx Runtime
  • [x] Tokenizer
• [x] UniFFI, is a toolkit for building cross-platform software components in Rust.
• [ ] GRPC server with tonic
• [ ] Multiple OS support:
  • Desktop: Windows, Mac, Linux (x86, x64)
  • Mobile: Android, iOS, Linux (ARM)
  • Embedded Linux (ARM).
• [ ] Flexible Configuration: Easily configurable via command-line parameters, including listening port, batch size, thread count, and others.

Usecases

• [ ] SearchEverywhere: Search for anything, anywhere, anytime.
  • Model: Embedding, like Sentence-Transformers MiniLM
  • Extra: Local Indexing
• [ ] Visualization
  • Model: Ultralytics YOLOv9
• [ ] AutoComplete
  • Model: Embedding with ??
• [ ] Summarization
