Hailo, the chipmaker responsible for the Hailo-8, has been selected as the winner of the 2021 Edge AI and Vision Product of the Year Awards for ‘Best Edge AI Processor’. The awards recognize Hailo-8, the AI processor for edge devices, and the chipmaker who is helping enable practical visual AI and computer vision.

“We are honored that the Hailo-8 was selected as top Edge AI Processor in the 2021 Edge AI and Vision Product of the Year Awards,” said Orr Danon, Co-Founder and CEO at Hailo. “Hailo’s chip is uniquely designed for AI tasks at the edge, and we are proud to offer our award-winning technology to a wide range of companies in various industries seeking to innovate and maintain their competitive advantage.”

The Edge AI and Vision Product of the Year Awards is now in its fourth year and made up of seven different categories. Entries are judged by an expert panel and results are based on the innovation, impact on customers and the market, and competitive differentiation of the companies and their products. Previous winners include Intel and NVIDIA.

Hailo’s Hailo-8 AI processor features up to 26 Tera Operations Per Second (TOPS), and is built with an architecture that helps edge devices run deep learning applications that could previously only run via a cloud. This means that devices can operate with more privacy (since there is no departure of information from the device) while still running with higher performance and minimal latency.
