Untether AI, a president in energy-focused AI motion technology, is at the vanguard of changing crops with edge-optimized solutions that address pressing issues like reference inefficiency and labour shortages. As AI reshapes the farming methods, Untether AI is delivering cutting-edge answers that substantially increase efficiency and sustainability, ensuring the future of crops.

Accelerating the Future of Agriculture

Untether AI is revolutionizing the agrarian systems landscape by developing cutting-edge AI momentum solutions that power cutting-edge vision-based farming equipment. These options help with tasks such as grain monitoring, pruning, identifying pests or diseases, robotic planting processes, and optimizing watering. Standard GPU-based solutions are frequently prohibitively expensive and have high continuing operating costs, despite the enormous potential of AI in AgTech. Untether AI’s speedAI 240 Lean breaks these obstacles offering edge-optimized AI motion that is both useful and flexible, allowing farmers to embrace the future of farming with useful, high-performance Artificial solutions.

At Untether AI, we believe that AI is not just a technology progress, it is a power that may redefine the agrarian scenery,” said Chris Walker, CEO Untether AI”. AgTech technology designers have the tools they need to optimize farm equipment efficiency and effectiveness, lower upfront and operating costs, and make lasting practices feasible with our speedAI family of AI accelerators, which have the best performance, power, and accuracy.

Overcoming the Limits of Current Answers

Most AgTech solutions rely on GPU-based solutions– actually designed for entertainment – which are expensive, inefficient, and power-hungry—making them impossible for real-world crops. For instance, laser weeding that are intended to replace harmful chemicals are cheap because they require various GPUs, leading to farmers turning to molecular solutions. Untether AI’s state-of-the-art speedAI240 Slim AI throttle card employs a tale At-Memory compute architecture, delivers better performance and low overhead at a fraction of the cost and energy, making AI-powered AgTech sustainable and successful.

Centralized Architecture: A New Paradigm for AgTech

Agriculture is now poised to transition away from complex, ineffective distributed systems with GPUs and toward more streamlined centralized solutions, just as the automotive industry did with centralized architectures for efficiency. Untether AI is pioneering an open-source platform that leverages a centralized architecture to enhance reliability, reduce costs, and simplify maintenance. By moving away from power hungry, expensive GPU-centric models, Untether AI’s accelerators enabled advanced AI capabilities, driving both productivity and sustainability in agricultural operations.

Energy Efficiency Meets Performance

The key to advancing AI in agriculture lies in vision-based precision and faster decision-making with high accuracy. Untether AI’s speedAI240 Slim empowers farmers with cutting-edge AI capabilities that streamline operations, such as weeding, by identifying smaller weeds more efficiently and conserving resources. Its powerful 2000 Tera Operations Per Second ( TOPs ) performance, combined with a 75-watt power consumption, drastically reduces system costs and complexity by replacing multiple GPUs with a single device, enhancing overall reliability.

With the recent publication of MLPerf Inference v4.1 benchmarks, Untether AI has solidified its leadership in AI performance, demonstrating a 6X improvement in energy efficiency and 3X lower latency. These results demonstrate how quickly the speedAI240 Slim can increase productivity and operational efficiency while providing unmatched AI compute power for agricultural robotics.

” Untether AI’s speedAI240 Slim AI Inference accelerator card brings the power of data center performance to edge and near-edge applications, making it a great fit for our edge server product family,” said Andrew Woollard, CTO of J-Squared Technologies, an Untether AI partner”. As we continue to develop cutting-edge systems and support next-generation AI applications, we anticipate utilizing the advancements in high-speed data bandwidth and higher TOPs performance-per-watt.

A Vision for Sustainable Agriculture

Untether AI envisions AI as a driving force behind sustainable farming by addressing issues like resource inefficiency and labor shortages. By delivering edge-optimized AI solutions—not outdated, GPU-based technologies— Untether AI is unlocking productivity while promoting sustainability. This translates to more efficient farming, reduced chemical use, healthier crops, and ultimately, a more profitable and sustainable future for farmers.

Western Growers ‘ goal is to increase our members ‘ competitiveness and profitability. We’re looking forward to seeing new vendors like Untether AI at this year’s FIRA USA event to spur on more AI innovation for the AgTech sector. “,” says Walt Duflock, VP of innovation at Western Growers.
