Nota AI, a specialist in AI model compression and optimization, has announced a strategic agreement to supply its optimization technology to Mobilint, a high-performance AI semiconductor (NPU) company. This partnership aims to merge Nota AI’s proprietary software capabilities with Mobilint’s NPU hardware expertise to develop high-performance, low-power solutions tailored for the global edge AI market. The collaboration focuses on accelerating the commercialization of on-device AI by ensuring diverse AI models run stably and efficiently on domestic NPU infrastructure.
Strategic Partnership: Nota AI and Mobilint are combining software optimization and NPU hardware design for the global edge AI market.
Technology Integration: Mobilint will license Nota AI’s NetsPresso® platform to compress and quantize AI models for its MLA100 and MLA400 NPUs.
Unified Package: Customers will receive a single package containing both high-performance hardware and pre-optimized AI model deployment capabilities.
Vision AI Expansion: Nota AI plans to run its Nota Vision Agent (NVA) on Mobilint hardware for industrial safety and smart city applications.
Ecosystem Growth: This agreement expands the NetsPresso® hardware ecosystem into the domestic NPU space, following previous wins with Arm and Samsung.
On-Device Focus: The collaboration emphasizes realizing on-device AI solutions that are deployable in real-world industrial environments.
Under the terms of the agreement, Nota AI’s NetsPresso® platform will serve as a critical software layer for Mobilint’s product lineup, including the MLA100 and MLA400. By integrating this platform, end users can automatically receive AI models that are optimized for their specific hardware environment. This integration maximizes the practical value of semiconductors by ensuring that complex AI models can execute with high inference performance and minimal power consumption.
"This collaboration marks an important milestone for Nota AI's optimization technology to expand its commercialization footprint within the domestic AI semiconductor ecosystem," said Myungsu Chae, CEO of Nota AI. "By establishing an environment where NetsPresso® can optimize more AI models faster on Mobilint NPUs, we look forward to building tangible commercialization cases that demonstrate the power of combining domestic hardware and software."
A major component of the partnership involves verifying the performance of Nota AI’s vision-based solution, NVA (Nota Vision Agent), on Mobilint-based cards and servers. The companies intend to pursue joint marketing and commercialization in sectors such as intelligent transportation systems, security surveillance, and industrial safety. This move allows Mobilint’s hardware to serve as the execution foundation for deploying Nota AI’s sophisticated vision agents directly in the field.
"This partnership will serve as a catalyst for accelerating the practical commercialization of on-device AI on domestic NPU infrastructure," said Dongjoo Shin, CEO of Mobilint. "By combining Nota AI's model optimization technology with our hardware, we will work to reliably deliver high-performance, low-power AI services across diverse industrial environments."
This agreement follows a series of successful technology supplies for Nota AI, including contracts with Arm and Samsung Electronics for the next-generation Exynos 2600. By adding Mobilint to its ecosystem, alongside previous work with Furiosa AI’s Renegade NPU, Nota AI is steadily expanding its presence across the mobile, data center, and edge AI domains. The company remains committed to strengthening its optimization capabilities to ensure AI models can run efficiently across an increasingly diverse range of hardware environments.
