The M.2 Max is an AI inference acceleration card powered by the Metis AIPU, designed to enable Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision Language Models (VLMs) on power-constrained edge and embedded devices. It offers high memory performance in a small footprint and supports complex computer vision tasks using parallel or cascaded models.
Key features include:
- Memory capacities up to 16 GB with various cooling options.
- Support for standard and extended operating temperature ranges.
- Hardware Root-of-Trust for secure boot and firmware integrity.
- Integration via the Voyager SDK and advanced quantization tools.
- Compatibility with PCIe Gen. 3.0 x4, Intel, AMD, and Arm64 processors across Linux and Windows environments.
The Metis M.2 card is a high-performance AI inference accelerator designed for constrained, small-footprint devices. Powered by a single quad-core Metis AIPU, it enables state-of-the-art AI capabilities including multi-camera inference and support for multiple independent parallel neural networks. The card offers seamless integration via the Voyager SDK and maintains high prediction accuracy through advanced quantization tools.
