AI Model Optimization For Embedded Hardware

Push AI
to the hardware limit.

Port, optimize, and validate AI models on your target embedded silicon — in a secure environment.

Issues

Sound familiar?

  • Ported the model, but it doesn't hit performance targets.
  • Quantization hurt accuracy, and tuning never ends.
  • Every chip change means another full port and re-optimization.
  • Vendor SDKs alone can't get you to peak performance.
  • You want to outsource — but the model and code can't leave the company.

Fixstars solves these with 20 years of embedded acceleration experience and an AI-native development environment.

Service

From port to peak performance

We take your AI model from "running" to "running at the limit of your target silicon" — porting, optimization, validation, and continuous improvement. Vision models, in-vehicle LLMs and VLMs, open or custom — we handle them all.

Port

Get your model running on the target hardware. We work with chip-specific SDKs and toolchains to adapt the model to its new environment.

Optimize

Quantization, kernel optimization, memory layout tuning, and processor task allocation — striking the right balance among accuracy, latency, and power.

Validate

Real-hardware benchmarks, accuracy validation, and latency measurement to confirm you have hit the spec.

Improve

As models, chips, and toolchains evolve, we keep performance moving in the right direction over time.

Technology

Agents in the
optimization loop

Our optimization pipeline is driven by AI agents — and the agents carry 20 years of embedded acceleration knowledge. Chip-specific patterns, quantization strategies, lessons from past projects. The agents consult all of it when making optimization decisions.

Work engineers used to do by hand now runs on agents. The result: hardware-level performance, in a fraction of the time.

Security

Your code stays yours.
Performance stays peak.

Choose on-premises or dedicated cloud — whichever matches your security policy. Either way, your code and models never leave your perimeter.

On-premises

Open LLMs like Gemma and Qwen, all inside your network. Code and data don't leave the building.

  • Code and data stay inside your network
  • Open LLMs (Gemma, Qwen, and others)
  • Even the strictest policies, handled

Dedicated cloud

Use the latest API-based LLMs like Claude Code in a dedicated cloud environment. Your input and output never feed model training.

  • Access to the latest LLMs (Claude Code and others)
  • Input and output never used for training
  • Performance and flexibility, together
