Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The landscape of edge computing has grown dramatically with the proliferation of IoT devices, thin clients, and repurposed legacy hardware. Simultaneously, large language models (LLMs) and AI agents have become indispensable tools for productivity, education, and automation. However, mainstream operating systems continue to treat AI capabilities as secondary applications to be installed post-deployment, often requiring substantial cloud connectivity, modern hardware, and complex configuration workflows.
