Trust is the adoption barrier nobody is solving for. Edge AI performance benchmarks don't tell you what happens when a system acts unpredictably in a GPS-denied environment, or why a soldier decides to disengage the technology entirely. Our CTO and co-founder Sek Chai breaks down five design principles for building trust into edge systems from the ground up — including why deployment is the start of system exposure, not the finish line.

Memorial Day. A day set aside to remember the U.S. service members who paid the ultimate price. We're grateful for what they made possible. Today we think of them and their families. #MemorialDay

The last day of #SOFWeek2026, and the demo is still drawing a crowd. We had the honor of welcoming Indian Special Forces, including Lt Col Sheel Ranawat, to our booth for a hands-on session with our terminal homing capability. Thank you to everyone who stopped by. #EdgeAI #AutonomousSystems #SOFWeek

💯 ... lots of opportunities to make AI inference efficient and scalable.
Shows this to all who claim AI infrastructure cannot be sustainable. 60-80% energy reduction proves software beats hardware scaling.

Latent AI won Data Center World's award for AI energy efficiency. By optimizing the AI runtime, they reduced hardware costs 12x, and that has been especially useful for always-on video inference. And they sped up model update times by 30x for the Navy. LatentAI.com

We were proud to take part in the BRAVE1 Defense Tech Valley event in Ukraine last week. The pace of innovation, the energy of the startup ecosystem, and the clear feedback from end users make Ukraine one of the most important places in the world to learn, partner, and build. A special thank you to our amazing, highly talented team led on the ground by our Head of Partnerships, Graham Shellenberger, and Federal Account Executive, Jon Gargano for representing Latent AI and building connections that matter. We’re excited about the next steps with the incredible teams we met and look forward to deepening our role in this ecosystem. If you’re not working in Ukraine, you’re not working in defense tech. #Brave1 #DefenseTech #EdgeAI #LatentAI #Ukraine
