Edge AI becomes more important for inference

My
latest on InfoWorld looks into edge AI and its role in AI inference.
Edge AI has been bubbling up for some time. But now, there’s renewed talk about using edge AI as the industry shifts from training to inference.
Excited to share my feature for InfoWorld today that dives deep into edge AI.
As an alternative to public clouds, edge AI has an interesting role to play in inference. The drivers include reduced cost, better privacy, lower latency, and more.
Advancements in more powerful devices, smaller models, and distributed AI frameworks are also enabling this reality.
Learn why many — from Morgan Stanley to Red Hat — see edge AI as enabling the future of AI inference, the tech required, and the roadblocks we’ll need to overcome to get there.
Who really benefits from AI coding tools? New research suggests AI amplifies existing top performers more than average developers. Read my post on LeadDev.
Survey data from Zuplo finds rising MCP adoption, security concerns, and shows how developers are using MCP servers to connect AI with APIs in 2026.
Blockchain for everything, metaverse, big data, NFTs... In hindsight, what were we thinking? Today, I call out some of tech's biggest overhyped trends on InfoWorld.
Like any production software application, AI agents are producing a spectrum of metadata behind the scenes. Some are calling agentic metadata a “gold mine” to direct continual improvements.
My latest DirectorPlus column with LeadDev interviews Bedrock Robotics' CTO, Kevin Peterson, on what it takes to develop highly adaptable and safe autonomous machines.
I explore some tips to help speakers craft solid pitches. The Nordic APIs speaker selection committee looks for these sorts of things, but the tips could apply to any tech event.
I made 10 predictions on how AI and APIs will converge in 2026. Signs point to AI agents being the next big API consumer.
My latest for InfoWorld breaks down 10 MCP servers powering next-gen devops workflows, from GitHub and Atlassian to AWS and Pulumi.
Excited to share my talk from Nordic APIs' Platform Summit 2025. As the opening talk of the event, I wanted to address the elephant in the room head-on: MCP.
