Edge AI is inevitable, but shipping it is painful: every device class behaves differently, runtimes vary, models are huge, and performance collapses under memory/power constraints. RunAnywhere turns that into an enterprise-ready workflow: one SDK to run models on-device, plus a control plane to manage models, enforce policies, and measure outcomes across thousands of devices.
