Quadric rides the shift from cloud AI to on-device inference — and it's paying off
(January 22, 2026) TechCrunch – Quadric is capitalizing on the industry shift away from cloud-based AI processing toward local, on-device inference capabilities. The startup develops programmable AI chips that allow companies and governments to run machine learning models directly on devices rather than relying on remote servers. This approach addresses growing concerns about latency, privacy, and the ability to deploy rapidly evolving models without constant cloud dependency.
