What this episode covers

Perceive Founder and CEO Steve Teig explains how his company is bringing data-center-class machine learning to edge IoT devices through their new chip, Ergo. He details the decision to build a custom silicon and software stack from first principles to achieve 20 to 100 times greater power efficiency than existing solutions, enabling battery-powered devices like doorbell cameras to perform complex inference locally. Teig discusses the strategic choice to keep raw data on-device to address privacy and security concerns, contrasting Perceive's approach with cloud-dependent competitors that suffer from high latency and false positives. The episode highlights Perceive's early-stage commercialization, noting they are currently in production with several unnamed consumer and enterprise customers.

    Taming the Wild Edge

    Chris Catterton, head of solution engineering at Micro AI (formerly OneTech), explains how their Adam ML technology enables lightweight AI training and inference on resource-constrained microcontrollers at the extreme edge of IoT. He details how this approach solves high data transmission costs by processing data locally and only sending insights to the cloud, using examples from oil rigs and manufacturing lines. Catterton also describes how the same behavioral profiling technology provides endpoint security by detecting anomalies in CPU and memory usage to prevent ransomware attacks and other threats.

    AI and Connectivity at the Edge and Endpoint

    Kaushal Vora and Mo Dogar from Renesas discuss the convergence of AI and IoT (AIoT) at the edge, distinguishing between resource-intensive generative AI and predictive AI suited for constrained endpoint devices. They highlight Renesas' acquisition of Reality AI and its AutoML toolchain, which allows embedded engineers to optimize machine learning models for microcontrollers without adding hardware sensors, as demonstrated in washer and battery management use cases. The guests explain how decentralizing intelligence reduces latency, power consumption, and security risks by performing inference locally on devices like the RH850 microcontroller.

    235. Arm’s Vince Jesaitis on How AI Is Moving from the Cloud to Your Pocket

    Vince Jesaitis, Head of Global Government Affairs at Arm, explains how AI is shifting from cloud-based inference to local edge processing on devices like smartphones, earbuds, and cars. He details Arm's strategy of providing efficient CPU building blocks that enable high performance-per-watt, addressing energy and water constraints in data centers while enhancing user privacy and security. Jesaitis also discusses the critical role of government relations, including workforce development initiatives, the US Chips Act, and navigating divergent global regulations like the EU AI Act and GDPR.

    174: It's Not Weird

    Evan Shapiro, CTO and co-founder of Knit Health, explains how his company uses a custom Linux-based camera with an onboard Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and deep learning neural networks to monitor infant sleep and respiration without wearable sensors. He details the engineering challenges of extracting weak respiration signals from noisy video, the decision to process data locally on the edge to preserve privacy and reduce cloud costs, and the rigorous security measures implemented to prevent hacking. Shapiro also discusses the history of neural networks, the 'Wizard of Oz' method used to train their models before having sufficient data, and his background as a professional poker player.

    AI at the Edge: Justin Schneck on the Future of Embedded Devices

    Justin Schneck, co-founder and CPO of Peridio, discusses the evolution of AI from cloud to edge, introducing Peridio's upcoming 'Avocado' OS designed to simplify embedded product development. He and host Ryan Prosser of Very explore the spectrum from cloud AI to embedded AI, noting how specialized silicon and miniaturized models are enabling practical applications like Garmin's radar-enabled bike lights. Schneck argues that while cloud AI handles massive compute, the real value lies in robust, self-initializing embedded systems that reduce hardware complexity for developers.
