In today’s episode, brought to you by Synaptics, we’re diving into a transformative change in Edge AI: the shift towards open, community-focused compiler technology. Synaptics, a frontrunner in embedded chip innovation, is taking a significant step by making its compiler toolchain open-source and encouraging developers around the globe to participate in shaping the future of on-device intelligence, in partnership with Google. Joining us is Dave Garrett, a pivotal figure in this initiative. We’ll discuss the motivations behind this decision, how we align models with hardware, the challenges of solely targeting peak performance metrics, and what implications this holds for developers, the Edge ecosystem, and the future of AI on devices.
