TECHNOLOGIES USED

Transformer-Enabled ML on AI Microcontrollers

Alif’s architecture combines high-performance CPUs, low-power design, and the Arm Ethos-U85 NPU to enable transformer-based AI on compact edge devices. These energy-efficient microcontrollers deliver exceptional performance for running real-time generative AI models locally, without relying on the cloud.

Alif also supports lightweight transformer ML models, including SLMs, for efficient natural language processing on-device.

This enables use cases like anomaly detection, health monitoring, and contextual adaptation. From smart assistants to predictive diagnostics and industrial automation, Alif is redefining edge intelligence.

AI-Driven Sensor Fusion at Ultra-low Power

Engineered to efficiently process multimodal sensor data, from vision and audio to environmental signals, Alif’s platform delivers real-time insights under ultra-low power conditions. This design supports always-on applications such as wearable health monitors, human–machine interfaces, and context-aware smart devices. It enables rapid interaction and decision-making locally, preserving user privacy and reducing latency in mobile or distributed environments.
