AI is a technology that generally requires a significant amount of power and high compute performance. Hence, it’s typically relegated to the Cloud or to an Edge-based computer.

Performing AI at the endpoint has not been feasible for those reasons. With ambiq’s Sub-threshold Power Optimized technology (SPOT), performing AI at the endpoint is a reality. And the doors/applications that it opens are extremely cool. 

Hear more about it in this week’s Embedded Executives podcast, where I spoke to Ambiq’s Vice President of AI, Carlos Morales. Note that Ambiq just recently released the latest version of neuralSPOT, which now includes key performance enhancements specific to the company’s Apollo5 family, amongst other features, some of which are specific to AI development.

Austin, Texas. Ambiq Micro, Inc. (Ambiq) has expanded its Apollo5 System-on-Chip (SoC) Family with the Apollo510B wireless SoC that incorporates a 48MHz network processor and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 radio for wireless connectivity in edge AI applications. It is powered by an Arm Cortex-M55 (up to 250MHz) with Helium and turboSPOT, offering up to 30x better power efficacy in AI applications and 16x performance boost over Cortex-M4 devices.

Hello Embedded Engineers, Developers and Makers! Welcome to In Case You Missed it: Embedded Insights, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design.

Austin, Texas. Ambiq recently publicized that its Apollo510 System-on-Chip (SoC) is currently supported on the Edge Impulse development platform allowing design teams to develop and deploy efficient and scalable AI for edge devices in application areas such as speech recognition, computer vision, healthcare monitoring, and industrial automation.

Austin, Texas. Ambiq released an innovation for over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids integrating AI-powered speech enhancement technology utilizing the latest Apollo510 microcontroller (MCU). The solution addresses the long-standing challenges through advanced neural network real-time processing.

Austin, Texas. Ambiq is joining the Edge Impulse network to deliver scalable AI models on the Apollo4 Plus System-on-Chip (SoC) ideal for edge AI such as speech, health, and more AI applications. The Apollo4 Plus utilizes Subthreshold Power Optimization Technology (SPOT) to achieve 10X more proficiency for AI processing vs. other Arm M4-based solutions.

 

Austin, Texas. Ambiq is increasing its support for the Zephyr Project Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). The open-source Zephyr is now offered on the Apollo3 Family SoCs, Apollo4 Plus, Apollo4 Blue Plus, and the forthcoming Apollo510 MCU, for high-performing AI at the edge.
