Unleashing ultra-efficient and easy-to-use machine learning (ML) on the edge with Nordic's groundbreaking nRF54 Series and Neuton.AI's automated TinyML platform.
Nordic Semiconductor announced its acquisition of the intellectual property and core technology assets of Neuton.AI, a pioneer in fully automated TinyML solutions for edge devices. This ignites a new era of ML on the edge by combining Nordic’s industry-leading nRF54 Series ultra-low power wireless SoCs with Neuton’s revolutionary neural network framework – bringing scalable, high-performance AI to even the most resource-constrained devices.
A leap in scalable, accessible intelligence
Neuton.AI’s patented technology breakthrough lies in its fully automated platform, which creates ML models typically under 5 KB in size – up to 10x smaller and faster than other approaches. With exceptional ease of use, these models require no manual tuning or data science expertise, enabling rapid deployment across 8-, 16-, and 32-bit MCUs.
Through its innovative neural network framework, which builds ultra-small models automatically without predefined architectures, Neuton.AI offers accurate, energy-efficient, and fast AI for edge applications in the consumer, healthcare, and industrial markets – all while preserving precious device and system resources such as power and code memory.
Enabling the future of edge AI
This acquisition comes as demand for edge node intelligence accelerates. With TinyML chipset shipments expected to reach $5.9 billion by 2030, Nordic is prepared to capitalize on the opportunity by offering developers a robust, ready-to-scale AI/ML toolkit for applications such as predictive maintenance, smart health monitoring, process automation, gesture recognition, next-gen consumer wearables, and IoT devices.
Integration and outlook
The acquisition includes all intellectual property and selected assets of Neuton.AI, along with its performance-driven team of 13 highly skilled engineers and data scientists. The Neuton.AI brand and platform will continue to operate during the initial integration phase, ensuring uninterrupted service for current users and partners.
