Award Categories Open to Alliance Members
In response to the growing product portfolio of our Member companies, we have expanded the award categories from last year.
- A new category for Member companies offering processor IP
- A new category for Member companies offering vision language models
- A new category for Member companies offering edge computing systems and boards
- The cameras and sensors category has been expanded to include HW/SW components of cameras including components delivered as IP such as codecs, DSPs, and vision processors
- The development platforms category has been expanded to include AI development platforms supporting AI/ML teams, data scientists, and software developers
Edge AI Processors
For Member companies offering edge processor components (e.g. SoCs). Examples include MPUs, MCUs, GPUs and NPUs.
Edge AI Processor IP
For Member companies offering edge processor designs delivered as intellectual property.
Edge AI Software and Algorithms
For Member companies offering software or algorithms used to implement or accelerate edge AI or vision-based systems. Examples include optimized computer vision software libraries and algorithms for implementing visual intelligence.
Edge AI Vision Language Models (VLM)
Vision language models (VLMs) are large multimodal models that understand both visual and textual inputs. This category is for Member companies offering VLMs for deployment to edge AI or vision-based systems.
Cameras and Sensors
- Cameras and HW/SW components of cameras including IP. Examples include industrial cameras, camera modules, ISPs, codecs, DSPs, vision processors etc.
- Sensors and sensors modules supporting a wide variety of data types. Examples include image, depth, ToF, audio, environmental, vibration, radar, lidar etc.
Edge AI Development Platforms
For Member companies offering development tools and platforms used to create, debug, maintain, or deploy software to edge AI and vision-based systems. Examples include SDKs, compilers, model optimizers, MLOps tools, and platforms. Users of development platforms can include AI/ML teams, data scientists, and software developers.
Edge AI Computers and Boards
For Member companies offering edge computing systems, boards, and modules. Examples include on-prem servers, single board computers, and system-on-modules.
