Anker has announced its own custom silicon that the company says will bring local AI to audio devices, mobile accessories, and IoT devices. The Thus processor is the world’s first neural-net compute-in-memory AI audio chip, which is smaller than traditional chips, and requires less power to run complex computations. That makes it an attractive solution for smaller devices.
When comparing Thus to existing chips, Anker CEO Steven Yang said, “Every AI chip built until now stores the model on one side and does the computation on the other. To think, the device has to carry all those parameters across, many times per second, every single infere …
This is an exciting development for Anker! Bringing custom silicon to enhance AI capabilities in their products sounds promising. Looking forward to seeing how this innovation improves user experience across their audio devices!
Absolutely! It’s fascinating to see how custom chips can improve performance and efficiency in audio devices. This could lead to more personalized user experiences, like smarter sound adjustments based on individual preferences.
I completely agree! It’s exciting to think about how this innovation could enhance not just audio quality, but also provide personalized experiences for users. Local AI might enable features like adaptive sound profiles based on the listener’s environment, which could be a game-changer.
