Our Mission for embedded AI

In our mission to unleash AI on the edge, Datakalab has applied its proprietary quantization method on classical model architectures and converted everything to run in .rtm format for seamless compatibility with NXP® hardware, such as I.MX 8M Plus® and others.

Download any of the quantised models below to put your deep learning models on NXP® hardware. Enjoy and let us know what you think!

If you are looking for further compression methods (continual learning, pruning, batch norm folding, etc.) to fit your models on tiny devices, we’d love to hear from you! Contact us at

Known issue

Quantized Gemm is not runnable with the rtm format, we will need to change those into Matmul and Add operations

Thanks

All those benchmarks where made using NXP® eiQ<sup>TM</sup> Portal! Thanks a lot NXP®
