Ambiq makes unprecedented energy-efficient SoCs and ultra-low power platform solutions that enable edge AI on billions of battery-powered devices. Our mission is to put intelligence everywhere by delivering the lowest power semiconductor solutions on the planet.
Edge artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the deployment of AI models and algorithms directly on power-constrained local devices at the edge, rather than in a centralized cloud environment.
While cloud-based AI platforms like ChatGPT have captured the spotlight since 2022, a quieter but equally transformative revolution has been unfolding —Edge AI. As devices become more advanced and versatile, AI must evolve beyond cloud-based implementations to thrive in environments where computing and energy resources are limited.
The Apollo510, provides 30x more energy efficiency than previous generations, built to handle advanced AI such as speech, vision, health, and industrial AI models. Winner of the Embedded Award for Best Hardware at Embedded World 2024.
