Images, audio and a device budget change the whole pipeline.
Text pipelines assume input is cheap to read and cheap to store. Documents, audio and images break both assumptions, and a phone breaks them again with a memory ceiling that cannot be scaled out of. These articles work through what survives those constraints.

Put this against a real system.
If a decision in Multimodal and Edge is in front of you right now, the fastest version of this is a call: bring the architecture, the failure you are seeing, and the constraint you cannot move.
