Today, Intel launched the Movidius™
Neural Compute Stick, the world’s first
USB-based deep learning inference kit
and self-contained artificial intelligence
(AI) accelerator that delivers dedicated
deep neural network processing
capabilities to a wide range of host
devices at the edge. Designed for
product developers, researchers and
makers, the Movidius Neural Compute Stick aims to reduce
barriers to developing, tuning and deploying AI applications by
delivering dedicated high-performance deep-neural network
processing in a small form factor.
As more developers adopt advanced machine learning
approaches to build innovative applications and solutions,
Intel is committed to providing the most comprehensive set
of development tools and resources to ensure developers
are retooling for an AI-centric digital economy. Whether it is
