- Night Vision Filter feature
Gyrfalcon DevKit Simplifies Edge AI, Providing a complete suite of hardware and software tools for AI Model Creation.
Gyrfalcon Technology Inc. (GTI), the world’s leading developer of low-cost, low-power, high-performance Artificial Intelligence (AI) processors from Edge to Cloud, today announced its DevKit, a set of development resources which makes it possible for smaller companies to achieve AI acceleration on existing devices such as smartphones, computers or industrial equipment. The cost-effective kit includes self-guiding online resources and two PLAI™ (“People Learning AI”) accessories that can run applications created to deliver Edge AI in devices using GTI’s first-generation chip, the Lightspeeur® 2801S.
The PLAI accessories are designed to be simple enough to use by non-experts:
- The PLAI™Plug is a USB3.0 dongle that plugs into laptops and other devices running a Windows, Linux or Android operating system. The PLAI™ Plug provides the AI accelerator to support applications developed by third parties that would run on a compatible laptop. Some examples include improving image resolution, transferring the style of a photo into that of a famous painter’s style or classifying images.
- The PLAI™ Wifi is a small, wireless accessory that provides 14GB of secure storage, pairs with Android or iOS smartphones, and supports image classification, low-light image enhancements and other AI capabilities to demonstrate the power of GTI’s accelerator chips running locally on existing smartphones. The companion demo app (AI Buddy) includes several AI experiences such as the “Night Vision Filter,” which enhances dark photos with brightness and color.
Developers can write applications for the two PLAI™ accessories, which, when embedded with an AI model, can enrich existing devices with Edge AI-based experiences. This means users don’t need to upgrade their laptops or phones to a new, high-end model to experience Edge AI.
