Running an AI model directly on a user's device (phone, laptop, edge server) rather than calling a cloud API. On-device inference eliminates network latency, works offline, and keeps data local—addressing privacy concerns. Small language models (1B–7B parameters) now run on modern phones and laptops, enabling agents for note-taking, translation, and code completion without sending data to a server.
