ODEs Without the Drama: How FPGAs Finally Make Physical AI Practical at the Edge

Battery. It is a wonderfully effective way to end an argument about elegant algorithms. A wearable device may benefit from learning how its surrounding physical system changes over time. It may even need an interpretable equation rather than another black-box prediction. But if one model update consumes more energy than the device stores, theoretical elegance becomes a rather expensive form of decoration. ...
