Ambarella & AWS Bring ML Solutions to Edge Applications

Ambarella AMBA recently announced a collaboration with Amazon's AMZN cloud computing arm, AWS, enabling customers to use Amazon SageMaker Neo cloud service to run ML models on devices based on Ambarella's CVflow-powered AI vision SoC (system on chip). Reportedly, this collaboration eliminates the need for developers to manually optimize ML models for devices based on Ambarella AI vision SoCs, preventing delays and errors in application development. The company will exhibit the collaboration with Amazon SageMaker Neo during CES 2020, to be held on Jan 7-10. Ambarella also named IP surveillance solution provider, VIVOTEK, as the first joint customer to leverage the single-click ML solution for edge applications. The company's CVflow suit of SoCs runs on an advanced 10-nanometer process, which enables the development of compact, high-performance vision systems with ultra-low-power operation.
