Even more convenient on Android — try "ailia AI Showcase".
ailia AI Showcase is an app that lets you easily try a wide range of AI features. Powered by the "ailia SDK" deep learning framework, it delivers fast inference using CPU, GPU, and NPU.
Features
Why ailia is optimal
for embedded devices
for embedded devices
NPU compatible
Run AI with low power consumption using INT8 quantization. This brings AI to embedded environments that previously had to abandon adoption due to power constraints.
CPU and GPU compatible
Optimized for Arm NEON, the de-facto standard in embedded devices. Embedded GPUs are accelerated via cuDNN and Vulkan.
Cross-platform
Develop AI on a PC without specialized embedded expertise — the same API works on both PC and embedded targets.
Abundant model library
Pick the model you need from an extensive model library — no retraining required.
CASE STUDY
AI Use Cases

Surveillance Cameras
Surveillance cameras are a natural fit for embedded AI. ailia runs AI directly on edge devices, reducing latency and cloud costs while keeping power and heat low through INT8 support.
Automotive
By supporting general-purpose SoCs and Android in vehicles, ailia helps prevent dangerous driving — including distraction, speeding, and drowsiness — and brings everyday safety to logistics and transportation infrastructure.
