Insights
Partnership expands Ceva's NeuPro ecosystem with developer-ready models, speeding edge AI deployment.
The collaboration pairs Ceva NeuPro NPU family with embedUR's ModelNova, creating a curated model library optimized for NeuPro-Nano and NeuPro-M and integrated with NeuPro Studio SDK. This delivers ready-to-run building blocks—models, datasets, execution scripts, and performance metrics—that reduce engineering lift for prototype-to-product cycles.
Key dependencies include continued model optimization for TensorFlow Lite Micro and maintenance of the curated library; ecosystem value depends on sustained updates and breadth of use-case blueprints. The dedicated instance is announced on
Developers gain immediate access to optimized models and integration artifacts for real-world edge use cases.
ModelNova supplies models for object detection, face recognition, pose estimation, audio denoising, keyword spotting, and anomaly detection, each with dataset descriptions and execution scripts; this materially lowers integration friction for wearables, smart home devices, industrial cameras, and AR/VR on NeuPro silicon. The platform’s inclusion of performance metrics allows objective evaluation on NeuPro-Nano and NeuPro-M hardware targets.
Risks hinge on model coverage and documentation quality; absence of specific performance numbers in the announcement means buyers should validate metrics against target hardware. Practically, teams should test representative models from the Ceva-specific instance now that it is live and re-evaluate integration progress at 3- and 12-month checkpoints as the model library and transformer/LLM roadmap evolve.
New ModelNova platform delivers developer-ready AI models for Ceva's ultra-low power NeuPro-Nano NPU,
and will extend to high-performance NeuPro-M NPUs, accelerating smart edge innovation
ModelNova, developed and maintained by embedUR, is a developer-centric destination for Edge AI building blocks, including models, datasets, and use-case blueprints. The Ceva-specific instance will host a curated selection of models from both companies, enabling rapid prototyping and deployment of AI features in wearables, hearables, smart home devices, and other AIoT applications powered by NeuPro-Nano NPU IP. It will also support larger workloads on NeuPro-M such as industrial automation, robotics, smart cameras, and AR/VR, while providing a roadmap for transformer-based architectures, LLMs, and generative AI.
Accelerating AI Innovation at the Edge
At launch, ModelNova will feature a growing library of models optimized with TensorFlow Lite Micro and integrated with Ceva's NeuPro Studio SDK. These models support features that allow autonomous interaction with the real world, from object detection and face recognition to pose estimation, audio denoising, keyword spotting, and anomaly detection. Each model includes performance metrics, execution scripts, and dataset descriptions to streamline evaluation and integration.
Physical AI: Intelligence Where It Matters
Physical AI is redefining how devices interact with the world. Instead of relying on cloud connectivity, intelligence is embedded directly into products, allowing them to sense, decide, and act autonomously. This shift is critical for applications like robotics, smart appliances, and health monitoring wearables, where latency, privacy, and reliability matter. Ceva's NeuPro NPU family delivers scalable AI acceleration, from NeuPro-Nano for ultra-low-power inference to NeuPro-M for compute-intensive edge AI, while embedUR's ModelNova platform provides the ready-to-use models that make development faster and easier. Together, they enable the next generation of real-world AI systems.
"ModelNova is a powerful extension of our NeuPro ecosystem, giving developers access to a diverse and growing library of optimized AI models," said Elia Shenberger, Senior Director of Product Marketing, AI Division at Ceva. "Our partnership with embedUR enables customers to build smarter, more responsive edge devices with minimal development overhead."
"embedUR is excited to collaborate with Ceva to bring ModelNova to life for NeuPro NPU family," said Eric Smiley, VP of Business Development, embedUR. "This platform provides developers with the tools they need to innovate quickly and efficiently, leveraging proven models tailored for real-world edge AI applications across consumer, industrial, and AIoT markets."
