Guanlan LLM on Edge: Hikvision's Compute Strategy Beyond Security

If you compare large models to a precision lathe, then cloud GPUs are like those giant gantry milling machines sitting in temperature-controlled workshops—highly precise, but impossible to move to a construction site. In my view, Hikvision's "Guanlan" large model technology system showcased at WAIC 2026 is more like a set of portable CNC machine tools: what it aims to solve isn't how to build faster lathes, but how to fit lathes into construction sites, mines, and production lines without losing precision amidst dust and vibration.
