LF Edge
Edge-Native AI Hackathon : LF Edge teamed up with ETSI and OCP to engage our collective communities and combine our efforts to see how we could influence Edge with Native AI. Each team was asked to address these 3 challenges:- How best to utilize edge-native and AI into data analytics and automation?
- How is edge-native and AI useful to enhance sustainability in applications, services and networks?
- How to deploy and utilize AI in 5G edge infrastructure to enable edge-native distributed applications?
The three finalist teams (Green Cyclops, Sheikah Tower / The AI Tower, PaLC.) will present demonstrations/presentations of their hard fought solutions on the expo hall floor. October 18 at 3PM on the Main Expo Hall Stage, there will be a pitch off and winners will be selected and announced.
