I have never heard the phrase “runs on the edge”, and the article uses some form of it a half times.
My only results for “edge devices” refer to networking. Is that what they’re trying to say?
Devices like Intel MyriadX inside of a camera would be considered edge devices in this application.

I’ve got an original OakD camera but haven’t tried to use it yet, was a gift at a convention a few years back. Pretty interesting device overall.
Article sounds AI written to me.
It’s usually an IoT (Internet of Things) term that signifies that something runs on the end device. These are hardware constrained devices that would otherwise just send their data somewhere else to be processed, but in this case they’re doing the processing.
Yes. Kind of implying you’d be able to run it on a reverse proxy without undue security considerations.

It’s referring to edge computing, and can be thought of as essentially saying “self hosting”.
