Current approaches to handling AI at the edge are required to step up to the challenge of deploying AI based on the Foundation Model concept into edge-based devices from mobile to automotive to desktop/PC. This new landscape of AI models, alongside the traditional edge use cases demands new flexibilities and strategies that can take advantage of opportunities and challenges resulting from the CMOS scaling roadmap and 2.5/3D integration and the ongoing march of intelligent systems. 

This blue-sky presentation from the engineer driving Imagination’s long-term roadmap for AI will ask how the era of foundation models arrived, lay out forthcoming hardware and software challenges, and suggest a few routes to success in this new landscape.
