As AI services and applications grow exponentially, including the latest burgeoning GenAI trend, the industry is rapidly transitioning to a Hybrid AI model that splits the compute needed between the Cloud and an Edge device. The need for specialized AI processing on edge devices is becoming almost mandatory. This is driven by a multitude of factors including speech and visual processing for improved Human Machine Interfaces, time-series, or signal processing for applications like vital signs prediction in healthcare and preventative maintenance in factory automation, just to name a few, along with the general need for privacy and security. To meet portability, responsiveness, and cost requirements, future proofed AIoT devices will need to be equipped with efficient compute for advanced sequence prediction, semantic segmentation, multimedia processing, and multi-dimensional time series processing in a very low power budget and silicon footprint.
