Master Edge AI in 2026: quantization, pruning, distillation, LiteRT, ONNX Runtime, Core ML, ExecuTorch, TinyML, NPUs, on-device SLMs, federated learning, OTA.
The course’s skills. The same ones appear on your Certificate of Completion, so you can show what you covered.
A premium, hands-on course on Edge AI and on-device intelligence, updated for 2026. You will learn why intelligence is moving off the cloud and onto phones, microcontrollers, wearables and industrial gateways — driven by latency, cost, privacy and offline reliability — and how to actually ship it. You will master model compression (post-training and quantization-aware quantization, pruning and sparsity, knowledge distillation), the real runtimes (LiteRT / TensorFlow Lite, ONNX Runtime, Core ML, ExecuTorch, MediaPipe and llama.cpp), and mobile deployment on both Android and iOS. You will go all the way down to TinyML on microcontrollers, understand the edge hardware landscape (NPUs, Google Coral, NVIDIA Jetson), and run small language models such as Gemma, Phi and small Llama models directly on device. The course covers on-device inference optimization, privacy-first design and federated learning, over-the-air model updates, and edge monitoring, with real case studies across mobile, IoT and wearables. Every concept is paired with real, correct code, and privacy-by-design and GDPR obligations are treated as first-class engineering concerns. Includes a comprehensive final assessment.
For developers, engineers and technical professionals who build or integrate AI solutions. It belongs to MLOps & Deployment, on the IT Pro track.
Advanced level: assumes hands-on experience with AI in the course’s field.

Why Edge AI Now in 2026
For a decade the default answer to "where does the model run" was simple: in the cloud. You collected data on a device, shipped it to a data centre, ran inference on a powerful server, and sent the answer back.
Written lessons, with examples and exercises. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can pick up where you left off.
Select a passage and it explains it, gives you an example or tells you why it matters. You can type or talk to it, in English.
Every lesson has its own quiz, with explanations for the answers: 343 questions across the course. The professor also summarizes the lesson and prepares review flashcards.
Once you complete the lessons and reach the minimum quiz score, you issue it from your account, with a unique number, publicly verifiable.
The AI Professor is included in your subscription, per-course access included, with a monthly fair-use limit. It is an AI system, not a human teacher, and its answers may contain errors; details in the Terms. See how the AI Professor works.
