Alif Ensemble E4, E6, and E8 Cortex-M85/A32 MCUs and MPUs feature Ethos-U85 NPU for small language models (SLM) - CNX Software

Alif Semiconductor unveiled the Ensemble E4, E6, and E8 dual-core Cortex-M85 Edge AI microcontrollers and fusion processors, all equipped with Arm Ethos-U85 with the ability to run small language models (SLM) on-device while consuming just 36mW of power on the E4 SKU. Besides the ability to handle generative AI workloads, the new microcontrollers also integrate two power-efficient Ethos-U55 NPUs for AI vision. They can perform power-efficient ob…
