Forget those resource-hogging AI models that require a data center to function. For comparison, even OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo caps out around the same token count, and that’s no small feat. With just 3 billion and 8 billion parameters respectively, the Ministraux family is all about efficiency. Image credits: Mistral

And if cloud computing is about computers far away from you in data centers, the edge is about the computers closest to you — like Windows PCs. WSL, which is the part of Windows that lets you run Linux. That’s in comparison to the very controversial 30 percent that Apple charges. PWAs, which are progressive web apps.
