The next AI boom won’t be bigger data centers. It’ll be compact intelligence running on the edge.
You (and the planet) don’t need mega frontier models for everything. You just need the right model on the right device.
This is what Liquid AI is all about.
Liquid AI (@liquidai): Well said.
AI shouldn’t just live in a data center, but it should run on the device you’re already using: Whether it’s a phone, a car, an appliance, or another everyday device in the real world.
That’s what we’re working on at Liquid AI.
We appreciate the spotlight on our COO
