Edge and GPU inference

AI at the edge.

Open-weight models on GPU compute we operate, including NVIDIA Jetson devices at the edge.

See the work

NVIDIA Developer Program

Hardware

Open-weight models, run on hardware we operate.

Our own work runs on NVIDIA CUDA GPUs we operate, scheduled by a job router we wrote. Before a machine gets work, it passes a real computation.

Deployment

Edge inference on NVIDIA Jetson.

Where each component runs, and which model calls leave your environment, is written down in a data-boundary document before anything is built. Edge hardware is one of the options.

Pipeline

A ledger you could reproduce.

Jobs are split into checkpointed units, and a failed unit is retried on a different machine.

How a job run is checked
  1. 01 Machine proofA real computation runs before work is sent.
  2. 02 CheckpointWork is split into units that save their state.
  3. 03 Failed unitEXCEPTIONOne unit fails. The exception stays on the record.
  4. 04 Retry on another machineFROM CHECKPOINT 02The unit resumes from its checkpoint elsewhere.
  5. 05 LedgerEach step is written to a ledger you could reproduce.
Status
Runs our own work.
Boundary
GPU compute we operate.
Acceptance
No machine gets work until it passes a real computation. Every job leaves a ledger.

The evaluator

We taught a smaller model to make the same calls as the evaluator.

The evaluator is Jev, from TypeSafe AI. The smaller model is ModernBERT-large, distilled from 68,828 Jev-labeled training examples, so the same calls run on compute we operate.

It is measured as teacher agreement, not accuracy, on two cohorts, with zero-shot Laya as the baseline.

In-KB n = 4,387

ModernBERT-large, distilled89.0%
Laya, zero-shot52.1%

Unseen KB n = 1,301

ModernBERT-large, distilled80.0%
Laya, zero-shot49.3%

The limit. Rare flags are not claimed.

Teacher agreement with Jev, not accuracy: how often the smaller model makes the same call as Jev, not whether Jev is right. Bars start at zero on the same scale.
Status
Measured. The figures are published on OptiVis AI Labs.
Boundary
Trained and run on GPU compute we operate.
Acceptance
Teacher agreement on two cohorts, against a zero-shot baseline.
