Placement

device

The model runs in the firmware through ww_executorch.

edge

The firmware sends frames or tensors to westwind serve on a nearby host (a PC, a Jetson, the Linux side of an UNO Q) which runs the model.

cloud

As edge, but westwind serve forwards the request to a hosted endpoint, for example the eoinedge/sam3 Hugging Face Space.

split

A small on-device model gates offload calls (placement.gate).

Federated training with Flower is described by the federated section and runs on edge hosts, never on the microcontroller.
