Problem

Developers could not run multi‑step reasoning agents on edge devices, forcing costly cloud calls and risking data exposure.

Solution

They explain how to deploy compact open models like Nemotron 3.5 Lightning and Qwen3.8‑27B on Jetson, using distillation, mixture‑of‑experts and inference optimizations to fit memory and speed constraints.

Want the architecture, code and numbers? They’re in the original post.
