Had an actual look at the article, because the post didn’t say much. My brief: vaporware, Microsoft advertising and Upton. No applications or license terms available or mentioned.
But hey, you might be able to buy buzzword compliance if they ever ship it.
Shey should have linked the actual chip somewhere prominently:

But yeah, I can already run object detecton at 1 FPS. Or more if it’s a tiny model. And I’d be interested in the proper specs. Does it have memory on board? Or does the RasPi do all the heavy lifting anyways? What kind of models fit? Voice recognition, … ?
