Latent AI, a leader in edge AI solutions, unveiled Latent Agent, the industry’s first agentic edge AI platform, featuring intelligent automation that transforms how enterprises develop, deploy, and manage AI models at the edge. Built on the proven Latent AI Efficient Inference Platform (LEIP), Latent Agent provides automated optimization and deployment capabilities that enable developers to rapidly iterate, deploy, monitor and secure edge AI models at scale.
Latent Agent addresses critical gaps in traditional MLOps that have hindered enterprise edge AI adoption. Traditional MLOps approaches force developers into costly guessing games when deploying AI models to edge hardware. Teams typically take models off the shelf and attempt to optimize them for specific hardware targets through a manual compile-and-deploy process, but most developers lack a deep understanding of the underlying hardware constraints and capabilities.
This knowledge gap becomes exponentially more complex at scale—managing multiple edge devices requires separate optimization pipelines, with organizations typically needing at least three specialists per pipeline. When multiplied across ten or more different hardware targets, the infrastructure management complexity becomes overwhelming. The result is significantly extended go-to-market timelines, up to 12 weeks, and substantial resource overhead that makes edge AI adoption prohibitively complex for most organizations.

“The rapid shift to edge AI has exposed gaps in traditional MLOps, slowing innovation and scalability,” said Sek Chai, CTO and Co-founder of Latent AI. “Latent Agent eliminates the model-to-hardware guessing game, replacing weeks-long deployment cycles and scarce expertise with intelligent automation. This is a game-changer for enterprises racing to stay competitive.”
How Latent Agent Works
Latent Agent streamlines the entire edge AI lifecycle—exploration, training, development, and deployment—across diverse edge hardware, from drones to sensors. Through a natural language interface, developers can now specify their AI requirements and receive optimized model-to-hardware recommendations powered by Latent AI Recipes, a knowledge base built on 12TB of real-world telemetry data from over 200,000 device hours.
The platform eliminates the traditional bottlenecks that delay time-to-market when managing AI infrastructure securely at scale. Latent Agent features:
- VS Code Extension: Integrates agentic capabilities into developer workflows, offering an intuitive interface for requirements gathering, pre-compiled model options, and streamlined deployment.
- Adaptive Model Architecture: Monitors deployed models, detects performance drift, and triggers autonomous remediation workflows—such as retraining or OTA updates—without human intervention.
- Latent AI Recipes: Leverages extensive telemetry data, benchmarked model-to-hardware configurations to recommend optimal model-to-hardware configurations, enabling rapid iteration and deployment.
“The biggest barrier to edge AI at scale has always been the complexity of optimizing models for constrained hardware environments,” said Dan Twing, President and COO of Enterprise Management Associates, and Principal Analyst for Intelligent Automation. “Latent Agent addresses that challenge head-on. It streamlines the hardest part of edge AI—getting high-performance models running on diverse devices—so teams can move faster and scale confidently.”
Solving Edge AI’s Biggest Business Challenges
Organizations using Latent Agent can:
- Accelerate Development: Natural language interfaces and automated optimization reduce the need for deep ML or hardware expertise, cutting deployment times from 12 weeks to hours.
- Enable Autonomous Operations: Adaptive models self-monitor for performance drift and trigger automatic remediation, minimizing human intervention and maintaining optimal performance.
- Scale Efficiently: Compile-once, deploy-anywhere capabilities support any chip, OS, or form factor, simplifying management of thousands of edge devices.
- Ensure Enterprise-Grade Security: Model encryption, watermarking, and DoD-compliant security features safeguard sensitive deployments.
“At Latent AI, we’ve always believed that edge AI should be as simple to deploy as it is powerful to use,” said Jags Kandasamy, CEO and Co-founder of Latent AI. “Latent Agent represents the natural evolution of our mission—transforming edge AI from a specialized engineering challenge into an accessible conversation. By combining our proven optimization expertise with agentic intelligence, we’re not just making edge AI faster; we’re making it possible for any developer to achieve what previously required a team of ML experts.”
