Market Trend
Physical AI goes mainstream in robotics
Robotics vendors are moving LLM and VLM reasoning from the cloud to on-device compute for lower latency, privacy, and resilience. NVIDIA’s Jetson AGX Thor brings a 7.5× performance uplift over Orin with 3.5× better efficiency, enabling robots to handle multi-modal perception and interaction directly at the edge. Early adopters include Amazon Robotics, Caterpillar, Meta, and Figure AI, with agriculture, logistics, and manufacturing poised to expand adoption.
Low-power GenAI with quantized inference
Edge accelerators are adopting INT4 and INT8 quantization to allow transformer models and diffusion networks to run on small devices. Hailo-10H exemplifies this with 40 TOPS INT4 performance at just 2.5 W. This trend makes on-device copilots and real-time inspections feasible without relying on high-power GPUs or cloud servers.
Adaptive SoCs for safety-critical applications
Industrial, medical, and rail environments require deterministic performance and functional safety. AMD’s Versal AI Edge Gen 2 delivers up to 3× TOPS per Watt with stronger real-time control and safety features. These adaptive SoCs and FPGA solutions are gaining traction in regulated industries that demand consistent latency and certified safety standards.
Memory-rich edge accelerators for GenAI
Accelerator cards are increasingly equipped with larger onboard memory to support bigger models and reduce round-trips to the cloud. Qualcomm’s Cloud AI 100 Ultra with 128 GB on-card memory achieves lower latency on generative workloads like Stable Diffusion, and scales throughput by multi-device scheduling, proving that high-memory PCIe cards are now vital for edge GenAI.
Industrial adoption through platform partnerships
Industrial ecosystems are expanding by integrating accelerator cards with complete software platforms. Siemens has strengthened its partnership with NVIDIA, embedding GPU-powered AI into industrial PCs for predictive maintenance and inspection. Such partnerships are accelerating adoption in smart manufacturing and smart grid sectors.
Regional ecosystems and localized supply chains
In China, accelerator providers like Cambricon and Baidu Kunlunxin have secured large orders from H3C and ZTE for edge deployments, driven by national priorities for domestic AI hardware. Local supply chains are fostering CUDA-compatible alternatives and new PCIe-based edge cards tailored for surveillance, transport, and utilities.
Open-source enablement
Firmware and drivers for AI accelerators are being upstreamed into major Linux distributions, cutting deployment time and easing fleet management. Qualcomm’s AIC100 firmware inclusion in linux-firmware in 2024 exemplifies how open-source contributions accelerate adoption across enterprise edge systems.
