David vonThenen, DigitalOcean, Senior Developer Advocate II, AI/ML

The future of IoT and Edge devices lies in seamlessly integrating voice-assisted AI interfaces with cloud capabilities. This session provides a hands-on exploration of how to architect efficient, voice-driven solutions using Large Language Models (LLMs) while balancing the demands of edge computing and cloud resources.
Key takeaways include:
Making informed decisions about where to run GPU-intensive AI processes, weighing edge performance against cloud scalability, privacy, and security.
Designing modular, voice-first AI architectures that adapt to diverse IoT/Edge use cases.
Practical demonstrations showcasing designs that perform tasks with voice-driven AI in hybrid edge-cloud environments.
Attendees will gain practical insights into choosing the right workloads to deploy on resource-constrained edge devices versus the cloud, leveraging open-source tools and frameworks. By the end of this session, you’ll leave equipped to build smarter, voice-enabled IoT/Edge systems with architectures that maximize both resource efficiency and innovation.
