497: Everyone Likes Tiny

OpenMV has a new Kickstarter so CEO Kwabena Agyeman chatted with us about more powerful (and smaller!) programmable cameras. 

See OpenMV's site for their existing cameras. See their (already funded!) kickstarter page for the super powerful N6 and the ridiculously small AE3.

Note that OpenMV still is committed to open source. See their github if you want to know more.

Edge AI is the idea of putting intelligence in the devices (instead of in the cloud). There is an advocacy and education foundation called Edge AI Foundation. This organization was formerly the TinyML Foundation. Edge Impulse and Roboflow are companies that aid in creating and training AI models that can be put on devices. 

ARM talks about their Ethos-U55 NPU (and how to write software for it).
