This Tiny Compute Stick Is The Turbo Pascal for AI Inference Programming and Edge Computing

Source: Intel

To get more trained AI engineers out there, we need the equivalent of Turbo Pascal that can run on a PC or laptop. The Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick (NCS) is a tiny fan less deep learning device that you can use to learn AI programming on a laptop. The list price for the compute stick is only $79 which is very affordable to a lot of people including students. Adjusted for inflation, the compute stick is cheaper than the then Turbo Pascal at $49.95. With the NCS, many people will be able to learn and develop AI applications on their own. The compute stick acts as an artificial intelligence accelerator that does not require access to a server or a cloud-based system, making it an excellent platform for learning AI. All they need is just a laptop or a PC. Read More...
