The support or use of AI (artificial intelligence) in electronics, including ML (machine learning), whether in software (supervised, unsupervised or reinforcement learning tools) or hardware (accelerators, GPUs, etc).
At Embedded World, TI introduced two MCU families with edge AI capabilities. The MSPM0G5187 and AM13Ex MCUs integrate TI’s TinyEngine NPU accelerator for MCUs that optimises inference operations. Production quantities of the MSPM0G5187 MCU are available for purchase on TI.com, with the AM13E23019 MCU available in preproduction quantities. Additional package and memory variants will be released by the end of ...
Grinn, the Polish embedded Systems-on-Module (SoM) specialist, is highlighting its Grinn AstraSOM-261x at Embedded World. Based on the Synaptics Astra AI-native processor, Grinn describes the product as the “world’s smallest Edge AI” SoM. It is aimed at industrial environments, and has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. “The Grinn AstraSOM-261x represents a step forward in our idea to ...
Google and Synaptics have collaborated on a new, limited-edition Coral Dev Board, which is powered by Synaptics’ Astra SL2610 and features Google’s Coral NPU. It is targeted at AI and ML engineers, system architects and ODMs/OEMs, says Synaptics. And it is designed to support experimentation and rapid production prototyping. Coral Dev Board The Coral Dev Board uses the 1 TOPS Synaptics ...
One of the projects in the $500bn Stargate programne – a datacentre in Abilene, Texas – has been scrapped. The scrapped project was to be an addition to the eight-datacentre Abilene site (pictured ) – two of which have been built with construction proceeding on other datacentres targeted for opening this year. The abandoned project was an extension to the ...
In the first two months of 2026, AI startups have attracted $220 billion, with $189 billion raised in February alone, says a report from BestBrokers.com. This is almost three times the $75.5 billion secured in Q1 2025 and already exceeds the combined $197.8 billion raised across Q1-Q3 2025. If this continues, it is entirely possible that the AI sector could ...
Nvidia is investing $2bn each in Lumentum and Coherent to accelerate innovation in advanced optics technologies to enable AI infrastructure and systems designs. In both cases the deals also include multi-billion dollar purchase commitments. “Together with Lumentum, Nvidia is advancing the world’s most sophisticated silicon photonics to build the next generation of gigawatt-scale AI factories,” said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. ...
Jedec has officially updated the Universal Flash Storage (UFS) standard with UFS 5.0. It aims to increase storage performance and efficiency for edge device AI applications. The aim is improved performance through faster data access. For example, UFS 5.0 enables sequential read and write speeds of up to 10.8GB/s. Note, however, the changes maintain compatibility with UFS 4.x hardware. The ...
OpenAI has raised $110bn from Amazon, Nvidia and Softbank. Amazon put in $50bn and Nvidia and SoftBank put up $30bn each. The funding round values OpenAI at $730bn. “These partnerships expand our global reach, deepen our infrastructure and strengthen our balance sheet so we can bring frontier AI to more people, more businesses and more communities worldwide,” says OpenAI. “We ...
Ericsson and Intel are collaborating for the transition to AI-native 6G deployments and use cases. The collaboration will span mobile connectivity, cloud technologies, and compute capabilities across AI-driven RAN and packet core use cases, and platform level-security and network capabilities. “6G is not merely an iteration of mobile technology. It is the infrastructure that will distribute AI across devices, the ...
Nvidia has hooked up with Booz Allen, BT, Cisco, Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson, MITRE, Nokia, OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation, ODC, SK Telecom, SoftBank and T-Mobile — to build 6G networks on AI-native, open, secure and trustworthy platforms. 6G wireless networks will become the fabric for enabling autonomous machines, vehicles, sensors and robots. By embedding AI across the RAN, edge and core, 6G ...
