There are many things to be seen in the world, and not all of them are near internet connection or able to wait for a roundtrip API call.

This breaks down edge vs cloud deployments (in the context of a computer vision machine learning model), and the tradeoffs are generally applicable: https://blog.roboflow.com/deploy-computer-vision-models/
