arXiv:2607. 09520v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are the perceptual backbone of embodied AI, but their energy footprint on edge hardware remains poorly understood.
arXiv:2608. 07427v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM inference accounts for over 90% of AI operational energy, scaling directly with input token count---a critical inefficiency for telecom network analytics and numerical time-series data analysis (NTSDA), where raw multivariate KPI windows from 4G/5G cell sites expand into thousands of floating-point tokens.
arXiv:2608. 15502v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a promising foundation for Embodied AI, but their high inference cost poses significant challenges for deployment in robotic systems.
Fewer visual tokens do not guarantee lower end-to-end latency. We evaluate break-even with a reproducible protocol that accounts for decision overhead, shared work, and the operators each policy can avoid.
arXiv:2607. 08029v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The emergence of vision language models with fewer than 3 billion parameters has accelerated the implementation of on-device multimodal intelligence.
arXiv:2606. 11576v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern Vision-Language Models (VLMs) benefit from chain-of-thought prompting and test-time scaling, but these gains often come with prohibitive inference cost due to large visual contexts and long decoding chains.
arXiv:2606. 01503v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified vision-language models (VLMs) integrate visual understanding and visual generation within a single autoregressive backbone, but their joint training is computationally expensive and largely overlooked from an efficiency perspective.
arXiv:2607. 17317v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous systems rely on a perception module to navigate through dynamic environments.
arXiv:2604. 15622v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Always-on contextual AI runs language-aligned vision foundation models (VFMs) on edge devices, where the on-device model is the dominant continuous compute cost under strict latency and power limits.
arXiv:2606. 02569v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video is temporally redundant: adjacent frames usually share most objects, background, and layout.
arXiv:2606. 01790v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-model-based graphical user interface (GUI) agents have shown broad automation capabilities, yet deployment is bottlenecked by a key-value (KV) cache that grows linearly with interaction steps.
arXiv:2601. 03309v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, which integrate pretrained large Vision-Language Models (VLM) into their policy backbone, are gaining significant attention for their promising generalization capabilities.
arXiv:2608. 06723v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid scaling of Large Language Models (LLMs) has significantly increased computational cost, energy consumption, and inference latency, making accurate estimation essential for sustainable artificial intelligence deployment and hardware-aware design.
