Deeplite

Deeplite creates intelligent optimization software for deep learning deployed on cloud servers and edge devices. Deeplite provides a platform that uses AI to automatically make other AI models smaller, faster, and more energy efficient creating compact, high-performance deep neural networks that can run at the “edge” in vehicles, cameras, sensors,phones; devices you use every day. A significant challenge with deep learning models is that they are too large to deploy on small hardware, too slow to process mission critical applications or compromise battery life. Deeplite solves this problem by using a fully automated, proprietary and patented AI engine to optimize DNN models so that they can be deployed to any hardware platform on any device. .Our technology leverages years of research and new developments in tinyML to produce fast, efficient and scalable deep learning solutions for challenging real-world environments.
