Edge AI with Synapse AI: The Practical Guide to Deploying Optimized On-Device Models from Azure Synapse for Real-Time Inference and Privacy

By Darryl Jeffery

Edge AI with Synapse AI: The Practical Guide to Deploying Optimized On-Device Models from Azure Synapse for Real-Time Inference and Privacy is your definitive roadmap to bringing high-performance AI to the edge. This book shows you how to design, train, and optimize models in Azure Synapse, convert them into lightweight ONNX and TensorFlow Lite formats, and deploy them securely to devices-from Raspberry Pi gateways to ARM-based microcontrollers. You'll learn to integrate real-time LLM calls and retrieval-augmented generation into multi-agent workflows, leverage MCP servers for seamless agent orchestration, and automate intelligent pipelines with n8n, all while preserving user privacy and minimizing bandwidth.

Drawing on hands-on examples, you'll master advanced techniques-quantization, pruning, operator fusion, and federated learning-that shrink model footprints and accelerate inference without sacrificing accuracy. You'll explore how to build agentic AI systems that coordinate multiple specialized models, implement canary releases and rollbacks for safe updates, and visualize fleet-wide telemetry in the Synapse dashboard. Practical code illustrations guide you through Python-based data pipelines, real-time REST APIs, and secure over-the-air update mechanisms.

Whether you're a machine-learning engineer, DevOps professional, or AI architect, this book equips you with the skills to build autonomous AI agents, integrate RAG 2.0 pipelines, and harness emerging accelerators such as Coral Edge TPU and Habana Gaudi. From manufacturing anomaly detection to smart-city sensor networks and remote patient monitoring, you'll see how edge-first intelligence transforms applications across industries. Embrace the edge-to-cloud continuum and deliver resilient, low-latency AI solutions that safeguard privacy and scale with confidence.
