Edge Impulse.
STMicroelectronics.
The former, a company we actually covered earlier this morning here on IoT Evolution World; the story involved Edge Impulse’s partnership with like-minded edge computing specialists at ZEDEDA, given the two are providing additional tools for enterprise developers in IoT. (Read here.) The experts at Edge Impulse seek to usher in what they describe as, quote, “the future of embedded machine learning, where developers can build, deploy, and scale their embedded ML applications easier,” thus unlocking massive cross-industry value in IoT. Edge Impulse also focuses on robust AI for any edge device; sensors, cameras, gateways, containers, MCUs, CPUs, GPUs and more.
The latter, STMicroelectronics, is a global semiconductor company that serves its customers with essential microchips for electric vehicles (EVs), key fobs, giant factory machines and data center equipment, household appliances, smartphones, smart toothbrushes, you name it. As drivers of innovation, the STMicroelectronics team – more than 9,000 R&D employees worldwide, notably – designs and builds products, solutions, and full ecosystems that actively enable an advanced, sustainable future. (Read our most recent STMicroelectronics-related story here.)
Let’s put these two together now:
Edge Impulse and STMicroelectronics recently announced that they’re officially collaborating on what they define as “industry-leading solutions for practical applications of AI in edge environments.”
STMicroelectronics’ portfolio of next-level products and technologies (combined, of course, with Edge Impulse’s edge AI platform that’s being deployed in production within global enterprises) will reportedly enable the development of compelling new AI/IoT-centric offerings for customers.
Furthermore, Edge Impulse’s GenAI and edge-capable integrations (with NVIDIA’s TAO and Omniverse platforms, to boot) will complement STMicroelectronics’ previously announced support of the NVIDIA TAO Toolkit, opening the door for great opportunities to leverage these technologies on the ground floor.
Per Zach Shelby- CEO and co-founder of Edge Impulse (who was also quoted in our previously mentioned Edge Impulse story):
“STMicroelectronics’ products and technologies are an integral foundation for thousands of edge deployments around the world, and we are honored to collaborate with them to deliver new, practical, and impactful AI capabilities to those customers.”
And per Marc Dupaquier, Managing Director, Artificial Intelligence Solutions at STMicroelectronics:
“Edge Impulse was a ‘first mover’ in establishing an enterprise foundation for edge AI models and systems, and its production-ready platform will now be fully optimized for STM32 microcontrollers. This collaboration will support our customers as they continue to integrate AI into edge environments and help them stay one step ahead of this rapidly evolving sector.”
