Edge AI models run, but the product doesn't? Considering hardware characteristics comes first.
Published2026.03.24 10:45노타 AI 조석영 매니저는 지난 3월6일 코엑스에서 개최된 ‘e4ds Physical AI Frontier 2026’에서 ‘엣지 AI에서의 AI 추론, 경량화 모델 및 경량화 방법’에 대해 발표하며, 현장 개발자의 병목을 정면으로 겨냥한 경량화·최적화 전략을 공개했다. 엣지 AI 시대에 경쟁력은 더 작은 모델이 아니라, 더 빠르게 제품으로 완성시키는 능력에 있다. 자체 경량화와 전문 솔루션 사이의 선택은 이제 기술 취향이 아니라, 비용과 시간에 대한 전략적 판단의 영역으로 이동하고 있다.

Edge AI (9) - Jo Seok-young, Nota Manager ①, “There is a severe shortage of AI researchers, so we are overcoming the development limitations with an on-device AI optimization platform”
The integration of various AI functionalities into edge devices has emerged as a critical development challenge that is energizing the industry. Currently, given the severe shortage of AI-specialized experts, developers, and engineers in the field, manufacturing and hardware companies are ill-equipped to achieve time-to-market and secure market dominance. Against this backdrop, AI model lightweight optimization and solution platforms that provide convenience and completeness in on-device AI implementation are gaining traction. There is a rapidly increasing demand for solutions that optimize AI models across diverse chips and even on low-specification devices without performance degradation. Recently, with the on-device AI optimization solution platform 'NetsPresso' drawing attention from industry leaders ranging from Samsung and LG to Naver and Kakao, we met with Jo Seok-young, Manager at Nota Inc. (hereinafter Nota), to discuss the relevant technology, industry trends, and outlook.

[2025 e4ds Tech Day] “Lightweight Technology is Key to the On-Device AI Era”
"Lightweighting is not simply about making models smaller. To run AI in real-time on low-power devices, complex technologies are required to reduce computational load and optimize for specific hardware. Particularly in on-device AI environments where the device must execute AI independently without relying on cloud infrastructure, lightweighting is not an option but a necessity," said Jo Seok-young, Manager at Nota AI, in a presentation titled "Hardware-Aware AI Model Optimization Solutions and Success Cases for On-Device AI" at the '2025 e4ds Tech Day' event held on September 9th. He emphasized the importance of AI model lightweighting technologies in the on-device AI era.
