What to Study

Model footprint, quantization/runtime assumptions, memory use, and the device-deployment path.

Why It Matters

A useful counterweight to cloud-agent hype — tiny-device inference can support local/robotics experiments.

Action

Benchmark on available local hardware; report latency, RAM, and task quality.
