ai accelerator market is so tough... When we were designing ai pipeline for video processing at my last company, we went through a lot of different accelerators during research...
most of the companies won't even send you a dev kit unless you show promise to buy thousands.. Google coral was different, of the shelf, easy to buy, plug and play, python API.
It has a few problems though. It's not very fast for today's standards.The list of supported operators aged quickly. On top of that it is a bit energy hungry, 2 TOPS per watt + random spikes.
I hope they are working on something new, but I also won't be suprised if they kill it, for the last year the devices are constantly out of stock.
