Edge AI Deployment Services
Edge deployment solves a specific set of problems - and adds real complexity
Running AI inference at the edge (on-device, or on local hardware near the data source) instead of calling a cloud API makes sense for specific reasons: latency that a network round-trip can't meet, environments with unreliable connectivity, or data privacy requirements that mean sensitive data shouldn't leave the local network. It also means giving up the easy updates and elastic scaling of a cloud API, and taking on real device/hardware constraints. We only recommend edge deployment when one of those specific justifications actually applies to your project.
What we build
- Model optimization for edge hardware constraints - quantization and pruning to fit models within the memory/compute budget of target devices, with honest tradeoffs on accuracy
- On-device inference integration into your application, for mobile or embedded deployment
- Local edge server deployment for scenarios needing more compute than a single device but still avoiding a round-trip to the cloud
- Update/monitoring strategy for models running in the field, since edge deployment makes rolling out model improvements genuinely harder than a cloud API
Our process
1. Confirm edge deployment is actually justified
Based on your specific latency, connectivity or data-privacy requirement - if a cloud API would work fine, we'll say so rather than add unnecessary complexity.
2. Optimize the model for target hardware
Quantization/pruning scoped to your actual device constraints, with clear tradeoffs on accuracy communicated upfront.
3. Integrate and test on real target devices
Not just a development machine - the actual hardware constraints of where this will run in production.
4. Plan for updates
A strategy for rolling out model improvements to deployed devices, since this is genuinely harder than updating a cloud endpoint.
Pricing
Rs 200,000-800,000 depending on model complexity, target hardware constraints, and number of deployment environments.
