Nordic Edge AI

Ultra-low-power edge AI across the industry's broadest range of applications

Your data. Your model. Your edge.

From saving bandwidth and energy to more responsive real-time performance, implementing AI in your embedded applications offers massive benefits beyond the buzzwords. Nordic Semiconductor offers two unique technologies, Neuton models and Axon NPU, exclusively to our customers, to cover the industry's broadest range of devices, applications, and customer needs.

Neuton models

Custom Neuton models are ultra-tiny edge AI models built from your data using our patented network-growing algorithm, ideal for running edge AI on any Nordic SoC or SiP using its main application core (CPU).

10×: Smaller memory footprint than TensorFlow Lite models

10×: Faster and more energy efficient than TensorFlow Lite models on the CPU

< 5 KB: Average memory footprint of custom Neuton models created with our framework

Axon NPU

The Axon NPU is our dedicated AI accelerator core, designed to increase the speed and efficiency of TensorFlow Lite models, built into our most capable SoCs.
