About this paper
Alakesh Kalita
An edge-centric framework integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) into IoT networks, enabling natural language control and context-aware automation. The prototype demonstrated that LLaMA 3 (7B) offered high semantic accuracy with inference times of 126-208 seconds, while Gemma 2B (2B) achieved faster inference at 28-30 seconds, though with occasional semantic inaccuracies, on a Raspberry Pi 5.
Key insights
- Edge computing provides a viable method for deploying LLMs in IoT, addressing latency, bandwidth, and privacy limitations associated with cloud-only solutions.
- A clear trade-off exists between LLM model size and performance on edge devices, where larger models offer higher semantic accuracy but incur longer inference times.
- Structured prompt engineering, incorporating real-time and historical context via RAG, is crucial for LLMs to generate accurate and actionable commands for IoT devices.
