Microcontrollers vs cloud: why AI is moving to the edge

Cloud computing is still essential, but the default IoT pattern of sending everything to remote servers is becoming harder to justify. This is an English DEV.to draft based on a Silicon LogiX technical article. The canonical source is linked at the end. Why it matters New microcontrollers include DSPs, NPUs and enough memory to run useful local inference. At the same time, bandwidth, latency, privacy and cloud operating costs push teams to process more data near the sensor. Architecture notes Th
