Beyond Scaling: Position Paper Argues Personal AI Agents Must Move to Edge Computing

Position paper argues the bottleneck of useful agentic intelligence has shifted from compressing world knowledge into a single model to executing coordinated systems at the edge. The authors contend personal-agent architectures must move to edge devices because core properties like latency, privacy, and always-on availability cannot be satisfied by cloud-only deployment. Proposes a hybrid architecture where local agents handle closed-loop actions while coordinating with cloud for heavy reasoning.
