The Edge AI and Vision Alliance announced Blaize as winner of
the 2022 Edge AI and Vision Product of the Year - Best Edge AI
Processor - for the Blaize® Pathfinder P1600 Embedded System on
Module (SoM). The award recognizes the innovation and excellence of
the industry's leading technology companies that are enabling
visual AI and computer vision in this rapidly growing field.
Blaize, the AI computing innovator revolutionizing Edge and
automotive computing solutions, is recognized for its leadership in
developing the next-generation computing architecture designed for
AI workloads.
The P1600 Embedded SoM brings the full programmability and
efficiency benefits of the Blaize Graph Streaming Processor®
architecture to embedded Edge AI applications deployed at the
sensor edge or the network edge. The P1600's revolutionary GSP®
architecture enables new levels of processing power with energy
