EMMI: Edge Multi-Modal Intelligence for Communication-Efficient MLLM Inference via Fused Representation Compression

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 10, 2026 · UTC

Recent advances in multimodal large language mod- els (MLLMs) have opened new opportunities for edge intelligence by enabling reasoning across heterogeneous sensor modalities, such as vision, text, and telemetry data. However, deploying these capabilities on resource-constrained edge platforms remains challenging due to the substantial computational, memory, and communication demands of modern MLLMs. Rather than transmitting raw sensor observations or partitioning neural networks at intermediate layers, Edge Multi-Modal Intelligence (EMMI) communicates a compact representation between edge dev
