What’s at stake:
Artificial intelligence is expanding fast from the large language models to “Edge AI,” where more chipmakers and equipment manufacturers expect to make a major impact by tying it up with Internet of Things (IoT). Companies are racing to offer AI at the Edge, but they are also collaborating with partners across the design chain. With their announced collaboration so early in the new year, Synaptics and Google are staking out a position they want the rest of the rest of the market to adopt.
Synaptics Inc. and Google Inc. have announced a collaboration to enhance Edge AI for the Internet of Things (IoT). This partnership aims to optimize multimodal processing for context-aware computing by integrating Google’s MLIR-compliant machine learning (ML) core with Synaptics Astra hardware, along with open-source software and tools.
The companies said their collaboration will accelerate the development of AI devices for IoT, supporting various modalities such as vision, image, voice, and sound for seamless interactivity in applications like wearables, appliances, entertainment, and more.

Intel Corp. said it will halt spending on new fab and facility expansion programs in Poland and Germany temporarily and establish a separate board of directors for its foundry operations in continuation of its reorganization plans and as part of efforts to revitalize the business.
The company also intends to conduct an initial public offering for Altera, the FPGA business it acquired years ago, and sell some of its shares in the business in an operation similar to the floating of Mobileye, the advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous driving division.
The details, laid out in a message to employees but which was simultaneously sent out as a press statement from CEO Patrick Gelsinger, included many of the actions observers said the company was likely to take following news the board of directors had held a special meeting last week. Some observers were expecting Intel to split into separate independent businesses.
