The top AI tools of 2026

The top AI tools of 2026

Nikhil Agnihotri June 29, 2026

Just a couple of years ago, most AI tools still felt experimental. Impressive enough to demo at a meeting but rarely integrated into daily workflows. Things have changed quickly. In 2026, artificial intelligence has woven itself into how we draft, code, design, research, manage teams, and communicate. The tools are no longer experimental. They’re operational.…

What are the top development boards for AI and ML?

Nikhil Agnihotri August 5, 2026

Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are no longer limited to high-end servers or cloud platforms. Thanks to new developments in integrated circuits (IC) and software technology, it’s possible to implement ML algorithms and deep learning neural networks on tiny controllers and microcomputers. And these embedded devices installed at edges must no longer rely…

Top AI domains and career paths in 2026

Nikhil Agnihotri August 4, 2026

Artificial intelligence crossed a critical threshold in 2026. AI is no longer confined to research labs or narrow pilot programs. It sits at the strategic core of nearly every major industry, with global AI spending projected to exceed $2 trillion in 2026 alone. That is a 36% year-over-year increase. Enterprise adoption has reached 88%, though…

What are the top edge AI chips of 2025?

What are the top edge AI chips of 2025?

Nikhil Agnihotri July 31, 2026

Edge AI refers to deploying artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and models directly on local devices like sensors, smartphones, or Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. This approach includes edge computing, which processes data closer to where it’s generated rather than sending it to a centralized Cloud for analysis. According to a report by Gartner, by the end of…

What are the types of AI chips and how are they classified?

What are the types of AI chips and how are they classified?

Nikhil Agnihotri July 25, 2026

The demand for artificial Intelligence (AI) chips is increasing due to their suitability in certain AI applications. This development mirrors the rise of Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) for 3D applications years ago. However, traditional CPUs and even GPUs often fall short in handling the unique demands of AI workloads, prompting the emergence of AI-specific chips.…

What are the different types of AI ASICs?

What are the different types of AI ASICs?

Nikhil Agnihotri June 18, 2026

In the previous article, we discussed the different types of AI chips. Among these, ASICs play a significant role. Compared to GPUs, ASICs are faster and more power-efficient, thanks to their customized architectures designed for specific AI tasks or algorithms. One common misconception about AI ASICs is that they’re used solely for inference applications. However,…

What are the top machine-learning frameworks for microcontrollers

Nikhil Agnihotri July 29, 2026

Machine learning (ML) is becoming increasingly important for microcontrollers because it enables smart and autonomous decision-making in embedded systems. The many Internet of Things (IoT) applications, often called “smart devices”, only become intelligent thanks to ML. Microcontrollers are commonly used in edge computing devices where data is processed locally rather than being sent…

What AI acceleration techniques are used for embedded devices?

Nikhil Agnihotri June 29, 2026

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer confined to data centers. Today, AI is widely used and implemented in edge devices, smartphones, and embedded systems. This has been made possible through hardware and software acceleration methods that work together within embedded systems. It’s now feasible to run small machine-learning models on low-power, resource-constrained microcontroller units without…
