QNX and Hailo Collaborate to Enhance Edge AI Reliability

QNX, a division of BlackBerry Limited, has announced its support for the Hailo-8 AI Accelerator on its Software Development Platform 8.0. This partnership aims to expand the hardware for AI-powered edge systems, ensuring performance and reliability. Hailo's AI technology is already used in automotive, industrial automation, and more.

This collaboration marks a shift as AI moves from the cloud to edge environments. Developers can now build systems like robots or medical devices with enhanced AI performance and real-time reliability, using a combined hardware-software approach.

Benchmark tests demonstrated that systems running on QNX’s OS with the Hailo-8 show significantly improved performance consistency and reduced latency compared to real-time Linux environments.

QNX's foundational software continues to address complex challenges in industries such as robotics and healthcare, where reliability and predictability are paramount.
