Quadric's Chimera(R) general purpose NPU is a Python & C++ programmable processor natively designed for matrix computation at the heart of AI models, not a data center architecture squeezed into a car or robot. Running all AI model graphs, Chimera NPUs empower users to take control of their AI applications without reliance on the NPU vendor or chip vendor to port new models. This talk will demonstrate the full end-to-end execution of the Pi 0.5 vision language action (VLA) model on Chimera GPNPUs at lower power and with higher performance..
