# Embedl
|
| 14 |
+
|
| 15 |
+
Embedl develops advanced tools and algorithms for **Edge AI**. Our mission is to make AI models run
|
| 16 |
+
**faster**, **more energy-efficient**, and **reliably across diverse hardware platforms**, while
|
| 17 |
+
significantly reducing development time.
|
| 18 |
+
|
| 19 |
+
We help teams deploy high-performance AI on real-world, resource-constrained devices.

|
| 32 |
+
- CPUs, MCUs, FPGAs, and custom accelerators
|
| 33 |
+
|
| 34 |
+
The SDK follows Embedl’s **C3PO Framework**:
|
| 35 |
+
|
| 36 |
+
- **Compatibility** – through model surgery to fix op support issues
|
| 37 |
+
- **Provisioning** – of hardware access, runtimes, and compilation servers
|
| 38 |
+
- **Pipeline** – to compile, quantize, and run on-device inference for any model and hardware
|
| 39 |
+
- **Profiling** – on-device latency, memory, and performance for layerwise statistics
|
| 40 |
+
- **Optimization** – with public and proprietary algorithms for:
|
| 41 |
+
- Mixed-precision quantization
|
| 42 |
+
- Pruning
|
| 43 |
+
- Neural Architecture Search (NAS)
|
| 44 |
+

### **Embedl Models** ([Community](https://huggingface.co/embedl))
|
| 78 |
+
|
| 79 |
+
Pre-optimized models that can be used **off-the-shelf** or customized for specific hardware target
|
| 80 |
+
supported by the [embedl-models](https://github.com/embedl/embedl-models) package.
|
| 81 |
+
|
| 82 |
+
**First release highlights:**
|
| 83 |
+
|
| 84 |
+
- The **fastest Small Language Models (SLMs)** using **[FlashHead](https://www.embedl.com/knowledge/ultra-efficient-llms-embedls-breakthrough-for-on-device-ai)**,
|
| 85 |
+
a novel architectural improvement to the language-model head
|
| 86 |
+
- Works with popular models like **Llama, Gemma, and Qwen**
|
| 87 |
+
- Provides speedups on top of:
|
| 88 |
+
- Quantization
|
| 89 |
+
- Flash Attention
|
| 90 |
+
- Other standard optimizations
