Free Edge AI Toolkit for UP Platforms
The new UP Edge AI Toolkit provides you with a comprehensive framework through which to build, convert, and deploy AI models across the UP hardware ecosystem. Combining a one-click runtime environment setup, cross-platform model conversion, embedded benchmarking tools for performance simulation, and out-of-the-box compatibility with UP hardware such as the Intelli i14 Edge, UP Xtreme ARL, UP Squared Pro 710H Edge, and the UP AI dev kits series, the UP Edge AI Toolkit makes AI project development and deployment faster, simpler, and more reliable.
One-Click Runtime Environment Setup
The UP Edge AI Toolkit consolidates all necessary components such SDKs, drivers, and libraries across Intel, NVIDIA, and Hailo platforms into a unified bundle, giving you a platform-agnostic runtime environment with just one click.
Accessible, Embedded Performance Benchmarking
Evaluate multiple different models on the same hardware platform, measuring performance metrics such as latency, throughput, power consumption, and thermal efficiency across Intel, NVIDIA, and Hailo platforms, rather than testing model architectures individually across several platforms.
Unified, Cross-Platform Model Conversion
Convert pre-trained models into formats optimized for UP hardware. Cross-platform support for Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ Toolkit, HailoRT, and the NVIDIA® CUDA® Toolkit allow platform-specific optimizers to provide enhanced performance.
Integrated Edge AI Sizing Tool
Simulate workloads and experiment with batch size, precision modes, accelerator selection without having to manually reconfigure your pipeline. With zero-code configuration, insight into real-time performance metrics, and an isolated environment, the inclusion of the Intel Edge AI Sizing Tool allows you to determine the scalability of your model before committing resources to a project.
Next Step - Select the Hardware Platform for Your Project:
Bring more advanced models to a fanless, compact Intel® Processor N-series powered Mini PC while maintaining the operational efficiency of its onboard Hailo-8™ edge AI accelerator.
Leverage the Intel Core Ultra 200H Series’ 97 TOPs of AI performance to build next-gen robotics and AMR solutions, all with AI models that best optimize the performance of your application, regardless of platform.
Combine 14th Generation Intel® Core™ processing with raw AI capabilities of either the NVIDIA RTX™ A2000 or NVIDIA® RTX™ A4500 to fully embrace what can be done with the right model on an elite platform.
Powered by the Intel® Processor N150, it delivers quad-core computing performance with Intel® Graphics (24 EUs), making it ideal for entry-level AI workloads.
Enhanced processing capabilities for AI-driven workloads with pre-installed Hailo-8L or DEEPX DX-M1 or Axelera Metis module, up to 214 TOPS. (As per Axelera datasheet)
Based on the powerful UP Xtreme ARL board, the new high-end development kit provides 83 TOPS of AI performance—ideal for deep learning, edge computing, and vision-based applications.
