AisthOS: Edge Computing Inverts the AI Data Paradigm

AisthOS addresses four simultaneous crises confronting the AI industry: exhausted training data, synthetic data degradation, expensive manual annotation, and the GPU/energy shortage. By processing sensor data at the edge and extracting only semantic metadata—not raw pixels or waveforms—it achieves 10,000× data compression while embedding privacy-by-design. Critically, the entire pipeline runs today on Raspberry Pi hardware, suggesting a practical escape from the centralized cloud-compute arms race.
