Attack artificial intelligence terminal, MediaTek join ONNX open neural network exchange format

At a time when artificial intelligence has become a significant learning for technology industry, MediaTek, a Taiwan-based IC design house, announced on the 23rd that it will join the Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) to promote AI innovation.

MediaTek said that ONNX is an AI architecture created by Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. The intention is to establish a compatible standard to transfer deep learning models among different architectures to form an open ecosystem that allows AI developers to develop any plan at any stage Can mix and match tools and architecture.

Currently, MediaTek's Artificial Intelligence Platform, NeuroPilot, already supports Google's Android Neural Network (ANN). Now joining ONNX is to provide developers with the most complete AI development tools and platforms, which MediaTek strategically builds AI ecosystem an important part.

MediaTek recently released NeuroPilot, an artificial intelligence platform that integrates hardware and software technologies to accelerate AI terminal operations, with MediaTek's NeuroPilot platform including the AI ​​Processing Unit (APU) and Software Development Kit SDK), will be the best platform for developing a new generation of AI-enabled handsets and smart home devices, automotive electronics and more.

You Jie, general manager of MediaTek Group and general manager of Home Entertainment Group, said that the key to developing AI applications and functions is to open up the ecosystem because research sharing and compatibility are the real drivers of innovation. MediaTek hopes to develop NeuroPilot Maintaining compatibility and choice, it decided to join ONNX in order to create an open and flexible AI platform.

In the future, MediaTek's NeuroPilot AI platform will be able to support all major AI architectures on the market, as well as work with leading neural network software development tools including Google's TensorFlow, Caffe, Amazon's NXNet, Sony's NNabla, etc. The operating system In the area, MediaTek's NeuroPilot artificial intelligence platform also supports Android and Linux systems.
