Edge

Running code in data centers close to the user rather than one central location. Cloudflare has 300+ edge locations worldwide; Vercel and Netlify build on the same principle. For AI: edge inference lets the model respond with low latency wherever the user is — useful for chat UIs and real-time agents.
