Atlazo AZ-N1

Atlazo is looking to power AI and machine learning workloads in tiny smart devices with its first-generation system-on-chip, the AZ-N1. Announced in January, the startup says the AZ-N1 includes its highly power efficient AI and machine learning processor, the Axon I, which is targeted for audio, vice, health monitoring and sensor use cases. Atlazo says one Axon I processor can perform more than 130 inferences, and there are a variety of products in development that will use the AZ-N1, including smart earbuds, hearing aids and health monitoring devices. Aside from its processing horsepower, the AZ-N1 also includes a low-power CODEC that can support up to four microphones, a battery charge, DC/DC regulators and Bluetooth connectivity.
