A new paper challenges the conventional wisdom that on-device inference is always superior for real-time control in cyber-physical systems. Researchers developed a model showing that cloud-based inference can match or exceed on-device performance by amortizing network and queueing delays with high-throughput compute resources. Their findings suggest that cloud inference may be preferable for safety-critical applications like autonomous driving emergency braking, contrary to traditional design assumptions. AI
