Lesson 6 of 10 · Computer Vision for Builders, Not Researchers
In this lesson. Latency, privacy, and model size as product choices.
What you will learn
- On-device
- Cloud
- Privacy latency
Walkthrough
You will pick based on the contract. Privacy-sensitive capture may need on-device. This is the deployment fork for builders.
Work through the ideas in order. After each point, pause and connect it to a task you already do — a document, a workflow, or a feature you own. The goal of Computer Vision for Builders, Not Researchers is usable skill, not a pile of notes.
If something is unclear, rewrite it in your own words before you continue. Teaching the step back to yourself is the fastest way to see gaps.
Practice
Pick on-device or cloud for your feature and list two consequences.
Keep the first attempt small. A finished example you can reuse beats a perfect plan you never run.
