Edge AI is evolving quickly - what’s changing in the tooling and frameworks that support it? And where do the biggest opportunities for improvement lie? In this episode of Edge of Tomorrow - The Edge AI Debate, host Pete Bernard (CEO, EDGE AI FOUNDATION) is joined by Elia Schoenberger (Product Marketing, AI Division at Civa) and Nathan Francis (Business Development at AIZip) for an in-depth discussion on the role of tooling and frameworks in shaping the future of Edge AI. While much of the attention in AI is placed on models and hardware, this conversation focuses on the layers in between - compilers, SDKs, deployment pipelines, and frameworks - and how they influence speed, scalability, and collaboration across the ecosystem. The discussion explores how hardware constraints, model design, and tooling choices intersect, whether the industry is moving toward standardisation or continuing to prioritise innovation, and what practical steps could help simplify Edge AI development without slowing progress. This episode offers a look at how the Edge AI stack is evolving - and what it will take to support broader, more efficient deployment in the years ahead.
