Nota Demonstrates AI Optimization Technology at Arm Developer Workshop in the US
AI1 min read
Nota, a Korean AI company, helped developers at an Arm workshop in San Jose, USA, practice with its NetsPresso optimization platform. The tool makes AI models run faster and use less memory on different hardware.
What happened
Nota said it supported hands-on practice at the 'Arm Create 2026' workshop in San Jose, California. Developers from around the world used the AI Model Optimizer, a tool built on Nota's NetsPresso technology. They optimized AI models and checked the results. They also looked at which models and hardware are supported, how to compare performance, and whether the tool works in their own systems.
Key numbers and facts
- On the small computer Raspberry Pi 5, the AI model 'WideResNet-50' ran 5.9 times faster, according to Arm.
- The model's memory use dropped by 74%.
- On the flagship phone vivo X300 Pro, the speech recognition model 'Whisper Base' had 52% less decoding delay.
- The tool can deploy AI models on cloud, edge, and physical AI hardware.
How the tool works
The optimizer uses two main methods: model quantization and graph optimization. Quantization lowers the precision of the numbers an AI model uses, which cuts the amount of computing and memory needed. Graph optimization rearranges the steps of the model so it runs more efficiently. Together, they help AI models run well on many kinds of devices.
Why it matters
Running AI on small devices like phones and sensors is hard because they have less power and memory. Tools like this help developers make AI work on more hardware. For Nota, it is a chance to strengthen NetsPresso and bring in business customers around the world.
What to watch
- Nota will keep supporting developers who test the tool through early access and send feedback.
- Nota plans to collect more use cases across different AI models and hardware.
- Nota plans to improve the tool's features and ease of use.
