Las Vegas, January 8, 2025 – Beken Corporation (603068.SH), a leading Chinese wireless connectivity chip design company, today announced the official launch of its Artificial Intelligence Development Kit (AIDK) at CES 2025. This solution is designed to empower smart hardware developers to rapidly create innovative products with exceptional human-machine interaction experiences.

Beken Corporation is positioned to provide low-power wireless MCUs and solutions that support Edge AI for the smart Internet of Things (IoT). Catering to varying levels of AI computing power needs, Beken Corporation's product designs are based on the Arm^® architecture, offering customers a rich portfolio of products and ensuring hardware-level privacy and security. Utilizing the machine learning CMSIS-NN neural network inference library and the Vela compiler provided by Arm Cortex^®-M MCU and Arm Ethos^TM NPU, users can efficiently optimize deep learning networks and deploy TensorFlow Lite Micro (TFLM) network models onto chips configured with Cortex-M and Ethos NPU.

The AIDK solution of Beken Corporation is built on its high-performance BK7258 chip, leveraging its powerful audio and video processing capabilities, edge computing power, wireless connectivity, and ultra-low power consumption, along with the Arm ecosystem's advantages in physical layer security and Edge AI. Combined with local deep learning frameworks and large language models (LLM), it significantly enhances real-time human-machine interaction experiences.

This solution offers a complete set of schemes and application examples from intelligent device-side processing, network acceleration to large language model interfacing, which can greatly shorten the development cycle of smart products and lower the development threshold.

To further demonstrate the application potential of the AIDK solution, Beken Corporation has partnered with Agora, utilizing Agora's leading real-time multimodal conversational AI technology, to jointly launch several smart product prototypes, including smart glasses, companion robots, smart speakers, and smart toys. These prototypes have demonstrated breakthrough conversational abilities and interaction experiences in different scenarios, attracting the attention of numerous participants.

It is reported that several downstream customers have already completed the design introduction of AIDK, and related smart products are about to be mass-produced and launched. Beken Corporation stated that it will continue to invest in research and development, constantly improving the AIDK solution, and provide more powerful technical support and a more convenient development experience for smart hardware developers worldwide.
