Company mission
Plumerai is making deep learning tiny and accurate. We make it easy for developers to add highly accurate AI to their embedded products and thereby enable them to create amazing new products. This is how we work towards a future with 100s of billions of intelligent sensors on the edge.
Our take
Plumerai is making deep learning tiny and radically more efficient to enable inference on small, affordable and low-power hardware. This makes it possible to embed intelligent, battery-powered sensors everywhere and create a future where we know more things faster. Plumerai envisions a future with 100s of billions of tiny AI devices that create a huge opportunity for smart homes, retail, on-device voice assistants, and many more markets.
This is being made possible with the help of Binarized Neural Networks (BNNs). These are deep learning models where the activations and weights are encoded using only 1 bit. Plumerai primarily deploys their BNNs on microcontrollers and low-power FPGAs. The company vertically integrates all layers of the stack. From data collection and curation, custom training software, model architectures, pre- and postprocessing, and all the way down to the fastest inference engines.
Plumerai is backed by world-class investors with strong backgrounds in deep learning. Among them are Tony Fadell (creator of iPod, iPhone, founder of Nest), Hermann Hauser (founder of Arm) and Zoubin Ghahramani (University of Cambridge, Google DeepMind).
