How AI on Microcontrollers Works: Operators and Kernels

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Mangum 2026-02-07 08:53:11

The buzz around “edge AI”, which means something slightly different to almost everyone you talk to, is well past reaching a fever pitch. Regardless of what edge AI means to you, the one commonality is typically that the hardware on which inference is being performed is constrained in one or more dimensions, whether it be compute, memory, or network bandwidth. Perhaps the most constrained of these platforms are microcontrollers. I have found that, while there is much discourse around “running AI

Crunchyroll blames third-party vendor for AI subtitle mess

At the start of last year, Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini told The Verge the company was "very focused on testing" generative AI tools for subtitling and captioning speech to text. The comment came just months after the streamer temporarily took down the debut episode of one of its newest shows, The Yuzuki Family's Four Sons, after people complained about poor subtitles.

Final GOP bill kneecaps renewables and hydrogen but lifts nuclear and geothermal

The bill, which passed 218-214 with two Republicans voting no, now awaits President Donald Trump’s signature. Trump is expected to sign it.

The White House has largely been seen as enacting a pro-crypto agenda and even got its first crypto czar in David Sacks, after all. You’d think prices would be soaring.

Cloudflare just put a price on scraping the internet, and it’s coming for artificial intelligence’s free lunch.
