Growing MCU capabilities shift more AI from the cloud to the edge

Battery life (the time between charges) is a crucial figure of merit for many types of portable, wearable, mobile and remotely located devices, from smart glasses and smart watches to agricultural sensors for measuring soil conditions or animal health. We now know from research cited in an earlier blog that energy consumption can be at least five times lower when AI inference is performed locally on an ESP32-S3 system-on-chip (SoC) than when raw data is transferred wirelessly to the cloud for inference.

It’s official: local AI inference at the edge uses less power than the cloud

It is widely assumed that running AI/ML inference on-device in an edge microcontroller uses less power than transferring the raw data to the cloud, and then performing the inference on a cloud server. Intuitively, it seems obvious: an edge device such as an Ensemble or Balletto MCU has a much smaller power footprint than even a purpose-built AI inference server in the cloud. And when inference is performed locally, the system saves the power which would be used by an RF circuit to transmit data to the cloud.
