How do you do on-device inference while preserving battery life?

Using something like Taalas' hardcoded model as opposed to running one on general purpose GPUs, flexible but power-hungry.

It's not limited to just the mobile device. You could have a MacBook/mini/studio that is part of your local "cluster" and the inference runs across all of them and optimized based on power source.
