We are announcing a series of product launches and enhancements, expanding our web platform to build, scale, and secure AI-powered applications.
Today, we are launching Azion Edge AI, an entirely new way for organizations to implement AI by moving this expensive computation closer to where data is generated and consumed. Join us and learn how to revolutionize your applications with unmatched responsiveness and efficiency.
Making artificial intelligence locally accessible— technically and operationally—at a truly global scale. With Azion Edge AI, we enable organizations to execute powerful AI models on Azion’s distributed infrastructure, slashing operational costs, accelerating insights, and ensuring absolute control over sensitive data.
Why Edge AI on Azion?
Traditional cloud-delivered AI is often expensive, slow, and doesn’t always meet security, privacy, or compliance requirements. By moving inference to Azion’s Platform, we allow you to:
- Reduce latency dramatically by processing intelligence right next to users and IoT devices.
- Lower costs by minimizing data transfer and expensive centralized resources.
- Stay resilient—your mission-critical AI apps keep working even if the connection to the cloud is lost.
- Comply with regulations because your data and models can remain in-country or within custom geographic zones.
Major New Features & Capabilities
1. AI Models with a Distributed Architecture
With Azion Edge AI, you can execute modern LLMs like Mistral, Florence, and Qwen on Azion’s distributed infrastructure. You can fine-tune the available models using Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) for parameter-efficient adaptation and cost-effective model customization.
2. OpenAI-API Compatibility: Rapid Migration, Simple Integration
Azion’s Edge AI is natively compatible with OpenAI’s API specification, so you can reuse existing prompts, workflows, and SDKs.
Benefit: Move your GenAI applications from the public cloud directly to the edge with minimal code changes; accelerate proofs-of-concept, hackathons, or enterprise migrations.
3. Distributed Vector Database for Real-Time Semantic Search
Edge AI integrates deeply with Azion Edge SQL—a globally replicated vector and relational database—allowing you to run hybrid search, semantic similarity, and advanced querying seamlessly across all locations.
- Instantly recommend content, products, or responses based on vector similarity, regardless of user location.
- Power AI-enabled “search as you type” UX for e-commerce or enterprise portals.
4. AI Agents, RAG Pipelines, and LangGraph Support
Go beyond basic chatbots:
- Build intelligent AI agents whose logic, memory, and tools execute in real time, calling Azion Edge Functions or ingesting external APIs.
- Build RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines: bring your own data sources, documentation, and context into every answer for next-level accuracy.
- Use tools like LangGraph for stateful conversational bots or orchestrate complex multi-step reasoning.
5. Always-On, Resilient AI Apps
Azion’s unique distributed architecture means your AI apps keep running—regardless of temporary cloud outages or regional failures. Models deploy close to users, ensuring low-latency results in critical workflows (security, finance, industrial IoT, etc.), and supporting business continuity.
6. Privacy & Regulatory Compliance
Data processed by Edge AI remains where you choose: in-country, in-region, or globally—with full auditing, encryption, and access controls.
Industries served: fintech, healthcare/medical, government, retail, legal, and every regulated segment that needs fast, local intelligence.
7. Model Fine-tuning with LoRA
Fine-tune the available models to your domain and deploy instantly to Azion’s distributed network.
- Stay ahead with the latest models AND keep your data private and valuable.
- No GPU clusters or ML ops experience necessary for scaling inference and deployment.
8. Real-World Example: Axur’s Case
Customer spotlight:
Axur, a digital risk protection leader, leverages Azion Edge AI to scan millions of websites, identify threats, and execute the fastest takedown in the market while reducing cloud inference costs dramatically.
