How can we revolutionize everyday objects into smarter, more responsive entities? Join us in this exciting episode as we explore the cutting-edge world of Edge AI, fresh from the vibrant showcases at CES 2025. We promise an in-depth look at the future of technology deployment with our special guests Eric and John from EmbedUR. With their extensive expertise in embedded products, they bring a fascinating perspective on the importance of blueprints for tech commercialization in today's rapidly evolving landscape.

Our conversation with Eric Smiley and John Marconi introduces the innovative ModelNova, a transformative tool designed to speed up the journey from ideation to proof of concept for tiny edge AI devices. Discover how ModelNova's curated model zoo and datasets can empower developers, ensuring efficient performance even under resource constraints. We dive into practical insights like community contributions, adapting large AI models for small devices, and how tools like Model Nova democratize access across various chip platforms, turning ambitious ideas into reality.

This episode doesn't just stop at the technical nuances; it goes further into the realm of edge AI product development. We share a compelling story of transforming a bicycle helmet camera with object detection to enhance rider safety, illustrating the complexities of selecting the right hardware and the critical role of blueprints in this journey. From MLOps integration to cloud connectivity for continuous updates, our discussion emphasizes collaboration within the tech ecosystem to tackle the challenges of AI deployment. Tune in to learn how these advancements are not only reshaping technology but also enriching everyday life by making objects around us smarter and more responsive.
