Even though today's Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs was a setback, I'm filled with hope because of companies like #poly and #hp and my daughters and daughters in law who will be attending protest marches tomorrow. I have no doubt that freedom and democracy will prevail to protect all citizens. #roevwade #mybodymychoice

As #AI becomes more ubiquitous, we are proud to be at the forefront of this innovative revolution with #Astra. #Synaptics
While planet-scale AI grabs the high-tech headlines, a quiet revolution is underway at the edge of the IoT. Bill Curtis does an excellent job surfacing what is important for building the next generation of IoT devices enabled by AI. His takeaway is clear, “Although Astra is a new AI platform, it is surprisingly mature because it builds upon Synaptics’ long history with neural networks and sensor devices, extensive connectivity portfolio and broad partner base.” What is on his must-have list and how is Synaptics Astra™ addressing each? 1️⃣ SoC Hardware (Compute Solutions): At launch, the Astra silicon portfolio comprises three SoCs with Arm Cortex-A processors, GPUs, and I/O, tailored for various AI use cases 2️⃣ Platform Software (Unified Software Experience): Astra's GitHub repository offers a unified open-source software experience with Yocto Linux, an Astra SDK, and the SyNAP toolchain for easy development, enabling developers to quickly start building AI applications on the platform. 3️⃣ AI Framework : Synaptics' AI developer toolchain, SyNAP, has a proven track record of efficiently converting neural networks from formats like TensorFlow Lite and ONNX into optimized representations for target hardware-reducing latency and improving performance on Astra's platform. 4️⃣ Wireless Connectivity : Synaptics provides mature wireless solutions for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Thread, and Zigbee, with Machina supporting Matter over Wi-Fi, and plans to support Thread over a combo module based on SYN4381 or SYN4382 chips. 5️⃣ Partner Ecosystem: Synaptics leverages its longstanding relationships with large OEMs, supply chain partnerships, and showcased innovation partnerships to quickly integrate and scale Astra, providing AI-enabled applications and compute and connectivity solutions.

Thought leadership by Synaptics Incorporated's Vikram Gupta "The promise of the IoT as a transformative force remains intact, but it has been slowed by several challenges: fragmented hardware and software ecosystems, user privacy concerns, a cloud-centric data processing model with slow response times, and unreliable connectivity. The infusion of AI at the edge addresses two of these issues by allowing decisions to be made quickly in situ, with no need to upload user data. This tackles the latency and privacy issues while making better use of available bandwidth and lowering power consumption by reducing the number of transmissions." I love that graphic with the brain! #Synaptics #Astra #IoT #Edge #AIFirst
The #AI train is moving full steam ahead, but a more structured ecosystem and AI-first development approach is required. Our own Vikram Gupta shares his views in EE Times | Electronic Engineering Times on what it will take to make AI, particularly at the Edge, more ubiquitous and useful. "Regardless, if everything is going to be intelligent, it would follow that AI shouldn’t be a bolt-on “feature,” but inherent in every IoT product. Getting customers from ideation to real-world deployment requires shifting from the currently fragmented ecosystem to a cohesive, AI-first approach to IoT edge device design. This will require several elements: scalable AI-native hardware, unified software, more adaptive frameworks, a partnership-based ecosystem and fully optimized connectivity." #Astra #IoT #Edge #AIFirst https://lnkd.in/eHdEtPBm
