Smart hardware with an AI model built into the device itself.
An AI device is like stuffing a tiny helpful roommate into your earbuds. You say, “Hey,” and it is already butting in.
You meet it in wearables and smart home gear. It feels natural, but the tiny device must handle AI and private data.
Multimodal AI
AI devices often use Multimodal skills to handle sound, images, and the room around them.
Local-LLM
Many AI devices run a small Local-LLM on the device, so they need the internet less.
On-premise AI
AI devices follow the On-premise AI idea by keeping data close when they can.
Embodied AI
When an AI device can sense and act, it moves closer to Embodied AI.
