It skips Python-based data science and concentrates on the mobile problems that decide whether an AI feature works in production: thermal behavior, memory use, latency budgets, privacy, model integration, and graceful failure. It treats the model not as a magic black box, but as a fallible computational asset, like a database or a network stack. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy now: the Apple Neural Engine, unified memory, and Core ML have made local inference practical for real user-facing apps. The opportunity is not just to call AI services, but to build private, responsive intelligence directly into the software people already carry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou will learn to: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethink in probabilities instead of deterministic if-else logic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ework with the Apple Neural Engine, compiled Core ML models, and the Core ML\/Vision stack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003earchitect model integration, error handling, and graceful fallbacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebudget latency, memory, and power for production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eknow when not to use AI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe missing middle between dense academic ML textbooks and shallow \"hello world\" tutorials: the systems-engineering view required to ship robust, private, production-grade on-device AI.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefan Schmitt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798183889956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Stefan Schmitt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097380200703,"sku":"9798183889956","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-device-ai-stefan-schmitt-9798183889956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
