Tyler sits down with Tyler Xuan Saltsman, co-founder and CEO of EdgeRunner AI, to talk about building air-gapped, domain-specific AI for the warfighter. From his time as a Penn State wrestler and Army logistics officer to leading supercompute projects at AWS and Stability AI, Saltsman’s journey has been about speed, precision, and making technology usable where it matters most: at the tactical edge.

What’s happening on the Second Front:

  • How EdgeRunner AI builds personalized, disconnected models that know your MOS or AFSC
  • Why smaller, localized models outperform one-size-fits-all AI in the field
  • Real-world logistics workflows — op orders, manifests, and mission pivots — powered by edge AI
  • The importance of sovereign, culturally aligned AI across partner nations
  • How synthetic data can expose unit readiness and knowledge gaps
  • Lessons in velocity: why 80 percent deployed beats 100 percent delayed
