what's true and false in edge AI
Claim Why isn't true Correct claim
It fits because the file fits The file is the weight payload at one precision. Peak memory also includes activations, workspace, and a KV cache that grows linearly with the context Fit is undetermined wihtout context length and runtime overhead
Parameter count equals memory usage The weight payload should be used, it depends on the precision, wegiths are resident, activations and KV come and go Peak is runtime-specific
FLOPS decide latency FLOPs ignore data movement. A decode step and a prefill step over the same weights do identical airthmetic but differ in intensity The number of tokens M is what decide everything about memory and compute-bound cases
