Hey, here are some of the note worthy news on Edge AI you won't want to miss:
- Sondrel has optimized its SFA 100 to become a low-power, high-performance AI accelerator designed for edge devices. It is based on Sondrel’s SFA architecture, which is a RISC-V based architecture that is specifically designed for AI applications. The SFA 100 is capable of running a wide range of AI models, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and generative adversarial networks (GANs). The SFA 100 is a pre-designed chip that can be customized for each customer. This means that customers can add their own IP blocks to the chip, such as sensors, cameras, and microphones. This makes it easy for customers to develop custom AI applications for their specific needs.
- A crowdfunding project has been announced on Kickstarter. It is called Tachyon and it is about the size of a credit card. It has a built-in AI accelerator and is 5G compatible. The Tachyon is a powerful computer that can be used for a variety of tasks, including machine learning, robotics, and edge computing. It is powered by a MediaTek MT3823 chip, which has a built-in AI accelerator. The Tachyon also has 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. The Tachyon is 5G compatible, which means that it can connect to the internet at very high speeds. the first Linux-based SBC powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon QCM6490 featuring an eight-core CPU, GPU, 12 TOPS NPU, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G. Early bird prices start at $149!
- Sensonic has introduced a new AI-powered solution for predictive maintenance in industrial machinery. The edge computing model allows for real-time processing of sensor data, detecting potential failures before they occur, saving money and downtime. This technology leverages vibration sensors and cloud-based AI for analysis, offering manufacturers a proactive approach to equipment maintenance.
