The bottleneck isn't intelligence
The bottleneck isn't intelligence. It's power. Always-on AI agents cannot stream continuous video to centralized data centers , the economics, the latency, and the grid won't support it. Raw video is abundant. Usable video context is scarce. An hour of footage is not a prompt, it's a timeline of scenes, objects, actions and events that has to be structured before any model can reason over it. 90% of visual intelligence belongs on the device. JARD builds that local layer: compact video language models that produce structured context in real time, so routine perception runs at the edge and only the distilled signal , the 10% that demands true frontier reasoning , reaches the cloud.
