Memory giant Micron Technology Inc. has made a strategic investment in system-on-chip (SoC) vendor SiMa.ai that will include potential collaboration for future embedded systems.
The collaboration would integrate compute systems technology from SiMa with memory architectures from Micron. SiMa said its Modalix machine learning SoC (MLSoC) uses memory to support complex loads like large language models (LLMs) and vision language models (VLMs) at the edge.
The initial collaboration is the Sima.ai system-on-module features Micron memory. The SoM can fit into existing platforms for:
- Robotics
- Industrial automation
- Autonomous vehicles
- Smart industrial systems
The modules would help provide a path from prototype to production, the companies said.
"By merging SiMa.ai's purpose-built Physical AI solutions with Micron's industry-leading memory, we deliver unprecedented levels of performance and power efficiency," said Krishna Rangasayee, CEO and founder of SiMa.ai. “This hardware synergy, combined with the flexibility of our Palette™ software, allows our customers to deploy complex AI at the edge with ease."
