Think Silicon and Edge Impulse Collaborate to Integrate NEOX® AI SDK into Edge Impulse Platform
Think Silicon and Edge Impulse Collaborate to Bring AI to Wearables and AIoT Devices
ATHENS, Greece and SAN JOSE, Calif., April 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Think Silicon, a leading provider of ultra-low-power GPU and AI IP for embedded systems, and Edge Impulse, the leading platform for edge AI, have announced a collaboration that integrates Think Silicon’s NEOX® AI SDK into the Edge Impulse platform. This collaboration will enable machine learning (ML) developers to leverage the power of the NEOX® | GA100 RISC-V GPGPU for sports, wellness, audio, gesture, and vision-based AI applications on wearable and AIoT devices.
The NEOX® AI SDK is a comprehensive collection of open source and proprietary tools designed for converting, optimizing, analyzing, and deploying pre-trained and post-trained neural network models on the newly released NEOX® | GA100. By integrating the NEOX® AI SDK into Edge Impulse, embedded ML developers now have access to a complete set of ML tools to collect and shape data, perform model training, and easily assess the resources required for their specific AI use case on the NEOX® | GA100.
George Sidiropoulos, Managing Director at Think Silicon, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, stating, “We are thrilled to be collaborating with Edge Impulse to enable the ML community to deploy their algorithms on our newly launched NEOX® | GA100. The flexibility and programmability of RISC-V are crucial in the rapidly evolving ML space, and our goal is to simplify the developer experience and enable commercially valuable ML workloads to be developed and deployed on NEOX® at scale.”
Zach Shelby, CEO and co-founder of Edge Impulse, highlighted the benefits of this integration, saying, “With this collaboration, Edge Impulse developers can create intelligent, energy-efficient solutions on a powerful RISC-V tool to enable real-time, AI-driven insights directly in their products. This will be a significant advantage for a range of applications, including health and wearables, and will drive innovation where it’s needed.”
Experts from Think Silicon and Edge Impulse will be available to discuss the collaboration during Embedded World 2024 in Nuremberg, Germany from April 9-11. Think Silicon will be at Hall 4, Booth 476, and Edge Impulse will be at Hall 2, Booth 2-338.
