Ceva NPU IP expands AI ecosystem with new partnerships
Ceva has announced that it has expanded the AI ecosystem for its class-leading NeuPro-M NPU IP with the addition of two new partnerships targeting automotive and vision-based Edge AI applications.
Ran Snir, Vice President and General Manager of the Vision Business Unit at Ceva, remarked: “Visionary.ai and ENOT.ai have joined the ecosystem of partners that support our Smart Edge customer base. These partners are bringing new levels of innovation to solve complex challenges using AI, and illustrate the value proposition of our NeuPro-M NPU IP to enable scalable AI workloads on-device with highest power efficiency.”
Visionary.ai empowers cameras to capture video in extreme low-light and HDR scenarios, with results that surpass human vision. Traditionally, low light and nighttime video has been one of the greatest imaging challenges, often resulting in dark, grainy, and unclear video. This new technology changes the game, enabling cameras to deliver unparalleled low-light performance. The technology can be deployed on the NeuPro-M NPU to enhance multiple Edge AI vision applications for a range of markets, including mobile, PC, IoT, robotics, automotive, security, smart cities, and medical imaging.
Oren Debbi, CEO of Visionary.ai. stated: “At Visionary.ai, we have managed to surpass human vision in extreme low-light conditions by harnessing the power of AI. Through partnerships with leading Edge AI NPU companies like Ceva, we can bring this technology to a global audience, improving safety and functionality of vision-based Smart Edge devices by making the unseen seen.”
ENOT.ai specializes in neural network optimization, revolutionizing autonomous driving and Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). The collaboration combines Ceva’s NeuPro-M NPU IP with AI assistant technology from ENOT.ai, aimed at enhancing automotive safety, efficiency, and driver experience. Key features of this collaboration include an AI assistant that provides real-time lane departure warning, pedestrian detection, and voice instructions for vehicle operation, enhancing safety for new drivers and personalizing settings for an optimized driving experience. This partnership promises to set new standards in AI-driven automotive systems, focusing on intuitive driver assistance, vehicle efficiency, and intelligent edge computing capabilities.
David Rapoport, CRO at ENOT.ai, commented: “Ceva’s strong relationships within the automotive ecosystem and their AI NPU with industry-leading efficiency perfectly complement our AI automotive roadmap. This partnership exemplifies our mission to integrate AI seamlessly into everyday life, expanding role of the AI assistant in the automotive cockpit.”
The NeuPro-M NPU IP addresses the processing needs of Classic and Generative AI with industry-leading performance and power efficiency for AI inferencing workloads. The NeuPro-M architecture is highly versatile and future proof thanks to an integrated VPU (Vector Processing Unit), supporting any future network layer, and offers high scalability with four NPUs – the NPM11, NPM12, NPM14, and NPM18 to suite any AI workload.
