NVIDIA Jetson — Edge AI Inference Platform

Qualcomm AI Engine, integrated into Snapdragon mobile and IoT platforms, brings dedicated AI acceleration to over 1 billion devices. Its Hexagon Neural Processing Unit (NPU) handles on-device LLM inference (up to 7B parameters), real-time translation, voice assistants, and computational photography without cloud round-trips.

• ✦Hexagon NPU supports 48 TOPS INT8 inference performance
• ✦On-device LLM inference: Llama 3 7B at 15+ tokens/second

NVIDIA Triton Inference Server is the leading open-source inference serving platform that standardizes AI model deployment and execution across cloud, data center, and edge environments. It supports every major framework — TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX, TensorRT, Python, and custom backends — and optimizes inference on NVIDIA GPUs, x86 CPUs, and ARM processors. Triton powers production AI inference for companies like Microsoft, Tencent, and Siemens, handling billions of inferences per day with features like dynamic batching, model ensemble pipelines, and concurrent model execution. Its integration with NVIDIA's Jetson platform makes it the standard for edge AI inference in robotics, autonomous vehicles, and industrial IoT.

• ✦Multi-framework support: serve TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX, TensorRT, and custom backends
• ✦Dynamic batching: automatically group requests for 5-10x throughput improvement
