Introducing LaunchX

LaunchX is a product within the line of NetsPresso®, a hardware-aware AI model optimization platform, and it features the Model Launcher module as a standalone service. Let us tell you more about this product. 🙂
 
LaunchX overview
LaunchX is an independent service that enhances the functionality of NetsPresso®'s Model Launcher module. It streamlines the complex conversion process into two simple steps, enabling users to acquire benchmarks for various devices and identify the optimal device for their model. Additionally, it provides free models, ensuring accessibility even for those without an existing model.
 
Convert function
The "Convert" feature of LaunchX streamlines the conversion process into two steps. All that is required is for users to upload their model and press the button. This automatically transforms their model into settings optimized for deployment on the target device, minimizing errors.

The following options are available for conversion!👍🏻
  • ONNX → TensorRT
  • ONNX → TensorFlow Lite
  • ONNX → OpenVINO
  • TensorFlow-Keras → TensorFlow Lite
Benchmark function
The "Benchmark" feature of LaunchX allows you to assess your model's performance without the need for actual physical devices. During benchmarking, you can determine which hardware optimizes your desired performance without purchasing the physical hardware. Furthermore, it allows you to validate your target hardware's compatibility and AI model's compatibility!

The list of hardware available for benchmarking is as follows! 👐🏻

1. Raspberry Pi:
  • Raspberry Pi Zero
  • Raspberry Pi 3B+
  • Raspberry Pi 2W
  • Raspberry Pi 4B
2. NVIDIA Jetson Series:
  • NVIDIA Jetson Nano
  • NVIDIA Jetson TX2
  • NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin
  • NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX
  • NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier
  • NVIDIA Jetson AWS-T4
3. Intel Xeon:
  • Intel Xeon W-2223

Hugging Face picks Nota AI
for 'Spaces of the week'

Nota AI's Hugging Face demo space has been chosen as the 'Spaces of the week'! 👀 This space features two demonstrations that showcase Nota AI's advanced AI optimization technology.

The first demo features a lightweight Wav2Lip model. Users can create videos where a person's lip movements match the provided audio, using three videos and audio clips. By using selective quantization, this demo boosts edge GPUs' speed by up to 19 times without sacrificing quality.

The second demo showcases a streamlined Stable Diffusion model. Users can generate images for 20 scenarios, like "tropical birds on branches" or "floating colorful umbrellas." This demo reduces parameters and latency by 36% compared to prior models. It achieves high-quality generation by transferring knowledge from the original model, even with limited training resources.

These demos have been accepted at the 2023 ICCV (International Conference on Computer Vision), showing Nota AI's technical skills. To find out more, visit Nota AI's Hugging Face Demo Space now! 😎
