Alif Semiconductor hosts a demonstration at Electronica of an AI vision application created using transfer learning in the TAO toolkit, and deployed to an Ensemble MCU via the Edge Impulse platform

PLEASANTON, Calif., Nov. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Alif Semiconductor®, a leading global supplier of secure, connected, power efficient Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) microcontrollers (MCUs) and fusion processors, along with Edge AI development platform Edge Impulse, today announced a significant breakthrough in implementing AI vision processing on edge microcontrollers. This is achieved through the introduction of full support for Nvidia’s TAO model training toolkit on the Ensemble® and Balletto™ MCU families and the Edge Impulse platform.

The TAO toolkit has generated considerable enthusiasm among developers of edge AI devices due to its provision of extensive training datasets for common vision processing applications, and its support for transfer learning from pre-trained models. This innovation promises to substantially reduce the cost, time and effort which embedded device OEMs typically invest into model development for AI vision applications.

Until now, deploying TAO-trained models on low-power MCUs for edge applications has been untested and unproven. Now, with the complete integration of Nvidia TAO into its platform, Edge Impulse has established a streamlined process for deploying TAO models on the Alif Ensemble and Balletto families of MCUs and fusion processors. Fully integrated into the Edge Impulse platform, Alif’s products feature the Arm® Ethos™-U55, a neural processing unit (NPU) for which Nvidia has optimized the TAO toolkit.

Embedded developers seeking to implement AI vision applications, such as people counting, intruder detection, or robotics, can now utilize the TAO training toolkit and its dataset, confidently deploying either a pre-trained TAO model or a custom model developed through transfer learning via Edge Impulse on Alif Ensemble or Balletto MCUs.

Henrik Flodell, Senior Marketing Director at Alif Semiconductor, stated, “With Alif’s AI-optimized MCU ecosystem, high-end embedded vision processing is transitioning from large, expensive microprocessors to next-generation edge MCUs. The integration of the TAO toolkit by Edge Impulse has significantly streamlined the development and deployment of AI vision processing models on Alif MCUs.”

Adam Benzion, SVP Partnerships at Edge Impulse, added, “The TAO toolkit accelerates the generation of effective ML models, but it doesn’t address the deployment of these models on edge-optimized hardware. Together with Alif, we have solved this challenge by providing a fully integrated workflow from the TAO toolkit’s pre-trained models to deployment on Alif edge MCUs.”

Attendees can view the Alif/Edge Impulse demonstration of advanced AI vision processing on an Ensemble MCU at Electronica in the Alif Semiconductor booth B4.106 (Munich, Germany, 12-15 November 2024).

The announcement comes during DevCon week in Bangkok and expands Mesh’s wallet ownership verification beyond EVM chains

BANGKOK, Nov. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Mesh, the modern connectivity layer for crypto that makes payments and deposits seamless, and Reown, the onchain UX platform, announced they are advancing their exclusive partnership by launching wallet ownership verification for UTXO-based assets, beginning with Bitcoin. This enhanced functionality will directly address the need to comply with the European Banking Authority’s (EBA) Travel Rule Guidelines, which will take effect on December 30, 2024.

Compliance with the Travel Rule can be a significant challenge for crypto businesses, as it requires secure data exchange between different providers. Meeting these requirements can be complex and costly, and can divert valuable time and capital from product development and innovation. Furthermore, non-compliance can lead to significant consequences for VASPs operating in the EU, including fines, suspension of licenses and possible legal action. Mesh and Reown’s enterprise-grade wallet ownership verification solution offers a much easier way for companies to confidently meet regulatory standards, while still delivering a streamlined and user-friendly experience.

This advance in compliance and enterprise usability was revealed at WalletCon in Bangkok. WalletCon is the annual gathering hosted by Reown and focused on innovations in onchain user experiences, where Arjun Mukherjee, Chief Technology Officer at Mesh, will deliver a keynote address exploring the integration’s impact on security and regulatory compliance.

“By partnering with Mesh, we’re further advancing the capabilities of wallet connectivity across the crypto ecosystem,” said Jess Houlgrave, CEO of Reown. “As the onchain industry moves forward and adoption increases, regulation will play a larger role in our industry. Organizations that are forward looking and adaptive are going to lead the way. Our partnership with Mesh and the solution we have created that allows some of the industry’s biggest players to remain compliant is an example of this.”

Mesh’s verification solution doesn’t only meet the stringent requirements of the EBA Travel Rule but also provides access to the full suite of enterprise-grade tools and integrations, which include seamless connectivity to Mesh’s extensive network of exchanges, wallets, and financial platforms for use cases such as secure payments, deposits, and global asset transfers. As the leading SOC2 Type II compliant platform, Mesh combines security with scalability, offering unparalleled solutions to navigate regulatory requirements without compromising on the user experience.

“Reown’s commitment to open connectivity aligns perfectly with our vision of creating a secure and open financial ecosystem,” said Bam Azizi, CEO and Co-Founder of Mesh. “We’re seeing tremendous market demand for wallet ownership verification solutions that comply with EBA Travel Rule guidelines, and their leadership in wallet interoperability will be invaluable as we continue to expand our capabilities and deliver even more powerful compliance-enabling features through Mesh.”
