Title: Agentic Performance at the Edge: Insights from Benchmarking

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.10384v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) is a natural fit for Internet of Things (IoT) and edge systems, but edge deployments are often constrained to models around 8 billion parameters or smaller. An important question is: How much agentic-task quality is lost when model size is constrained by memory, power, and latency budgets? To address this question, in this paper, we provide an initial empirical study considering edge-focused model scaling, gener
