Kneron Prominently listed in Gartner’s New “Tech Innovators in Edge AI” Report

The global research and intelligence group states that “Kneron leverages System-on-Chip innovation to deliver more AI to the edge”.

San Diego, CA, November 3rd, 2020 — In its inaugural report on edge AI, Gartner identified twelve leading innovators in edge AI where technology providers are advancing the space. Of over thirty technology providers, Kneron was selected to represent the AI system-on-chip (SoC) segment.

Kneron offers AI system-on-chips (SoC) powered by a proprietary neural processing unit (NPU), and image and audio AI models that accelerate AI inferencing locally on smart home devices, IP cameras, smart security, and mobile computing devices.

The San Diego based AI company has also started to work in the education space providing textbooks on AI Hardware development as well as AI accelerators that students and developers can use to build their own AI applications.

In the report, the global research group reported that “Kneron is innovating with robust neural processing at the very edge with low power AI “systems on a chip.” Furthermore, they were able to identify that, “By supporting mainstream AI models, Kneron’s technology benefits a wide range of edge use cases across smart home devices, IP cameras, laptops, and driver monitoring systems.”

Most importantly according to the report, “Kneron enables greater AI workloads in disconnected environments at the very edge. This significantly increases the real-time business use cases where edge AI can deliver value and so expands its overall market potential.”

“We’re honored to have been identified as a key player by Gartner along with eleven other astute pioneers in the edge AI space,” said Albert Liu, Kneron’s Founder and CEO. “Gartner is a highly respected research and advisory firm that shapes the knowledge base of many of our clients and potential partners when evaluating technology providers in this cutting edge space.”
