AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ambiq^®, a leading developer of ultra-low-power semiconductors and solutions enabling Edge AI, joins the Edge Impulse ecosystem to bring scalable AI model deployment on the Apollo4 Plus.

AI developers can harness the power advantages of Ambiq's 4th generation Apollo System-on-Chip to deploy sophisticated edge AI such as speech, health, and other AI models through Edge Impulse's platform. The Apollo4 Plus uses the proprietary Subthreshold Power Optimization Technology (SPOT^®) platform to deliver 10X more efficiency for AI processing vs. other Arm M4-based solutions, making it an ideal platform for AI developers who want to add more complex AI models to their edge devices.

Edge Impulse's leading edge AI platform has been proven in hundreds of thousands of projects, from enterprise to manufacturing to healthcare. With robust documentation, support, and a strong community of 150,000+ users, Edge Impulse helps embedded developers scale their machine-learning applications from prototype to production.

"The Apollo4 Plus is the ideal Embedded platform for Edge AI as it allows developers enormous flexibility to deploy the lowest power AI models on their devices," says Carlos Morales, VP of AI at Ambiq. "The Edge Impulse platform expands the possibilities of the Apollo4 Plus to companies of all sizes, giving them the support they need to take their devices from concept to reality."

"The Apollo4 Plus SoC's ultra-low-power capabilities have made it feasible to deploy incredibly sophisticated AI models efficiently for on-device computing, from wearables to industrial devices," says Zach Shelby, co-founder and CEO at Edge Impulse. "With Edge Impulse's platform, developers can quickly build powerful, compatible models that utilize the full scope of innovative AI use cases unlocked by the Apollo4 Plus."

To get started today, users can access the Edge Impulse development tools for the Apollo4 Plus.
