Declarative Data Serving: The Future of Machine Learning Inference on the Edge
Summary: Proposes declarative data serving for edge ML inference, specifying data placement and movement across heterogeneous devices via high-level constraints. Positions this as a database agenda for managing task-specific communication without brittle hand-coded systems. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
