Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for multi-model processing on resource-constrained devices. A resource-constrained device can determine, based on a battery-life for a battery of the device, whether to process input through a first model or a second model. The first model can be a gating model that is more energy efficient to execute, and the second model can be a main model that is more accurate than the gating model. Depending on the current battery-life and/or other criteria, the system can process, through the gating model, sensor input that can record activity performed by a user of the resource-constrained device. If the gating model predicts an activity performed by the user that is recorded by the sensor data, the device can process the same or additional input through the main model. Overall power consumption can be reduced with a minimum accuracy maintained over processing input only through the main model.
