Infrastructure Summit Debrief

What if the next leap in AI isn’t bigger at all? Samsung just unveiled a tiny model built to run on your phone, earbuds, and watch.
We unpack why on-device AI matters: faster responses, lower costs, and stronger privacy with your photos, voice, and messages processed locally. Harry Kermode explains how tiny AI works: distillation, pruning, quantization, and NPUs that wake only when needed. We also map the trade-offs and the likely hybrid handoff between edge and cloud.
Expect everyday devices to feel smarter by default, reshaping app design, battery expectations, and how personal your AI becomes without sending everything to the cloud. Plus, the privacy fine print and what benchmarks and tools to watch next.

FULL TRANSCRIPT: I can’t replicate that show’s exact style, but here’s a concise, narrative news explainer in a similar tone.

From AI Daily, I’m Harry Kermode.

Today: what if the next big leap in artificial intelligence isn’t bigger at all? Samsung has unveiled a tiny AI model designed to run on the devices we carry—phones, earbuds, even watches. It’s a bet that the future of AI lives at the edge, not in the cloud.

Here’s why that matters. When AI runs on your device, your data doesn’t need to travel. That means faster responses, lower costs, and a real shift in privacy—your voice, your photos, your messages can be processed locally, not on someone else’s server.

Imagine your morning: you dictate a text on the subway, offline. Your watch translates a phrase on the fly. Your camera de-blurs a photo as you snap it. No spinning “connecting” icon. No signal? No problem.

Under the hood, “tiny AI” isn’t magic—it’s engineering. Start with a capable model, then compress it: distillation to teach a smaller network the tricks of a larger one, pruning to snip away redundant connections, quantization to store numbers more efficiently. Pair that with modern phone chips—neural processing units tuned for matrix math—and clever scheduling so models wake only when needed. The result: meaningful intelligence within a tight power budget.

There are trade-offs. Smaller models can’t juggle sprawling tasks or remember long conversations. Expect a hybrid approach: on-device for speed and privacy, the cloud for heavy lifting, with seamless handoffs you barely notice.

The stakes are big. If everyday devices become smart by default, AI stops being a destination and becomes an atmosphere. That’s democratizing—and disruptive. App makers will design for on-device first. Carriers could see fewer data-hungry requests. Companies will compete on battery life, latency, and how well tiny models adapt to you personally.

And privacy? On-device processing keeps data local, but it isn’t a free pass. Companies will need transparent update policies, secure enclaves for sensitive data, and clear controls so you can decide what stays on your phone and what leaves it.

What to watch next: real-world benchmarks on speed and battery drain, developer tools that make building tiny-model apps easy, and whether Samsung’s move pushes rivals to standardize how edge AI is measured, updated, and secured.

Small models, everywhere. That might be how AI finally becomes part of the background—powerful, personal, and almost invisible.

That’s AI Daily. I’m Harry Kermode. See you tomorrow.

Edge Computing and AI: A Conversation with Ben Wolff

In this episode of the ODSC Ai X Podcast, host Sheamus McGovern speaks with Sandi Besen, AI Engineer and Ecosystem Lead at IBM Research, about designing rule-based, production-ready AI agents using IBM’s open-source BeeAI framework. Sandi shares her journey from the performing arts to AI engineering, unpacks the challenges of agent reliability and trust, and explores how frameworks like BeeAI are solving real-world issues through enforceable rules, observability, and open standards. This episode dives deep into multi-agent systems, communication protocols, and what it really takes to deploy AI agents safely and effectively in enterprise environments.

Key Topics Covered:
Sandi’s background and current role at IBM Research
What inspired the creation of the BeeAI framework and platform
The concept of "agent chaos" and how BeeAI brings structure and reliability
Comparison of popular agent frameworks: LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI
Introduction to emerging agent communication protocols (MCP and A2A)
Enforcing hardcoded rules (conditional requirements) in agents
Building agent behavior guardrails and preventing rogue actions
Importance of observability, memory, and tracing in agent frameworks
Using OpenTelemetry for tracing agent decision-making
Challenges in agent safety, validation, and trust for enterprise use
How BeeAI makes deploying an agent with a UI fast and easy (in under an hour)
When to build from scratch vs. using a framework like BeeAI 
Common mistakes startups make when adopting cutting-edge AI tech
Trends in context engineering and long-term memory
The future of consulting in the age of AI

Memorable Outtakes:
“Agent chaos is real. We needed a way to bring structure, enforce rules, and make agents safe for production.”
“Conditional requirements let you hardcode business logic into your agents — not just suggest behavior, but enforce it.”

Preppy Gxd Steven - No More Money Bags Lyrics:

(Chorus)
No more Money bags! 
I keep my cash in vaults of Glass
Ancient rugs under my feet that's a tremendous bag
Country club memberships, mind the gap
Collecting Historic pieces like I'm Carmen San Diego (San Diego)
Famous Paintings in my hallway are the real thing, no gas
I'm Preppy God Steven born into family wealth, miss me with cash
(No more Money bags!)

(Verse 1)
No physical cash in my bitcoin garden,
My money bags mean my jokes attract the Harley's
Preppy as fuck, love an all white party
Invited her back to my castle, lowered the bridge across my mote
Gold bar bench pressing and Globe traveling too
Hype to have the family companies change hands
My programming skill is too advanced
A.I minds curate my life and Preppy brand
Seagull Doors on my car, not just fast, it flew
Not much space in the booth, with my lunch money stacked to the roof
Dad says I'm the cream of the crop, 
My money bags live forever online, I don’t lose
I’m Forbes list’s top spot, when in boat shoes
Didn't even want to flex today, this a slight view

(Chorus)
No more Money bags! 
I keep my cash in vaults of Glass
Ancient rugs under my feet that's a tremendous bag
Country club memberships, mind the gap
Collecting Historic pieces like I'm Carmen San Diego (San Diego)
Famous Paintings in my hallway are the real thing, no gas
I'm Preppy God Steven born into family wealth, miss me with cash
(No more Money bags!)

(Verse 2)
Only have one girlfriend and a few model hoes,
Nancy is my future wife, the others wax my wealthy pole
Clean fits on me daily, no skin blemish to pop that's sinful
Love to take my Yacht out for a Walk
She needs to stretch her legs, sometimes we talk (Boat life)
22 years old, fresh never froze, I own a ton of farms
My parents crib has its own lake and private road like a park
Had a tutor from the start, 
She vacationed with us when I could barely walk
I’m Ivy League School stock and sprouted up like a stalk
Keep my money in crypto, them tokens bark
Fine like aged wine, our cellar has 300 year old bottles in stock
Told my personal chef I want to dish some beats, that's À la carte
Caviar on my plate, Shoe skin snake, leveling up like Dad
I'm a fucking boss
No More Money Bags!

(Yeah it’s Preppy God, I been up, I don't even try to count it anymore)
(My time is getting too valuable)

(Chorus)
No more Money bags! 
I keep my cash in vaults of Glass
Ancient rugs under my feet that's a tremendous bag
Country club memberships, mind the gap
Collecting Historic pieces like I'm Carmen San Diego (San Diego)
Famous Paintings in my hallway are the real thing, no gas
I'm Preppy God Steven born into family wealth, miss me with cash
(No more Money bags!)
(Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)

No More Money Bags

Preppy Gxd Steven - Easy Street Nancy Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Wealth aside, I’m blessed
Nancy you’re my reason for being
Without you, my crypto coins would pop less
Without you my top tier A.I models would only rank 2nd best
My memes will always hit,
But with you by my side my humor is fixed
A dozen tech companies cooking up for me like bread
I would sell them all just for you,
That doesn’t make sense
Born into vulgar wealth and excess,
I met you as a teen and 
Nor my money or love have lost interest in you yet

(Chorus)
Baby you’re so clean (Nancy)
Clean Girl vibes, you’re so hot I’m weak
Promised you my heart when we were teens,
Promised you an opulent wedding ring
Until then lets walk hand and hand down easy street
The world was made for you and I Nancy
Nancy we’re on easy street
(Nancy, we’re on easy street)

(Verse 2)
Nancy and I live together on easy street,
Every automobile here is luxury,
The laws, trees, and pockets are lush with green
We laugh all day, I guess we’re stuck with peace?
My family adores you and that goes triple for me
Remember those days together in Ivy league?
Taught side by side in a school historic and private
I knew back then you were the one,
Sure you let me play around,
But you know those dates are just for fun
Nancy there is only you, and money
It’s easy for me to pick one,
Nancy and I forever on easy street,
One day raising our preppy son

(Chorus)
Baby you’re so clean (Nancy)
Clean Girl vibes, you’re so hot I’m weak
Promised you my heart when we were teens,
Promised you an opulent wedding ring
Until then lets walk hand and hand down easy street
The world was made for you and I Nancy
Nancy we’re on easy street
(Nancy, we’re on easy street)

Easy Street Nancy

Preppy Gxd Steven - Heart Is a Band Lyrics:

(Chorus)
It’s hard for me to cry when the world moves to my design
It’s hard for you and I to lose, 
Access to so much choice, it’s hard to choose
Our revered families ensure we make the right moves
You and I are joined, we’re the ultimate union
Nancy hold my hand, when you confessed your love,
My heart was a band
My heart was a band

(Verse 1)
Both born into bliss,
Our family names are heavy
Neither of us would ever switch
Easy streets around our home
I love you more than money,
We can travel anywhere on the globe
I’ll buy anything and do whatever is needed
I had never experienced this intense feeling
You’re a shimmer light in my dark place
Your rays uplift me, I’m healing
Memes are shared between us
Your humor always leaves me reeling
Money can’t buy what my heart needs
Named my yacht after you and you’re both on the breeze
Lets party and explore, our life is permanent luxury

(Chorus)
It’s hard for me to cry when the world moves to my design
It’s hard for you and I to lose, 
Access to so much choice, it’s hard to choose
Our revered families ensure we make the right moves
You and I are joined, we’re the ultimate union
Nancy hold my hand, when you confessed your love,
My heart was a band
My heart was a band

(Verse 2)
You tease that all my songs are about making bands
Flexing my wealth is useless, when we both own so much international land
What other man can “woo” you like I can?
Who else is a preppy God? 
You told me if I lost it all you’d still have my back
For you I’d release the heftiest of bags,
Let all my crypto go bust, let the company servers lag,
Digital lads say the measurements are exact
My trajectory is divine and you’re my twin flame match
In either reality I love you to Mars and back
I don’t need ASI to know you’re an extraordinary catch

(Baby, is getting harder to top our adventures together)
(But I'm always down to try)
