Archetype AI, headquartered in Silicon Valley, is developing a foundation model for Physical AI, a new form of artificial intelligence that is capable of perceiving, understanding, and reasoning about the real world. Coined a “Large Behaviour Model” (LBM) by Archetype AI, Infineon will pilot this new model in order to uncover hidden patterns of behaviour in unstructured sensor data and to blend real-time sensor data with natural language to create a ‘living’ view of the world to analyse complex sensor-based data.
Under the terms of the multi-year partnership, Infineon will be the first company to utilise the LBM AI developer platform to generate AI agents that automatically create code for customer-specific sensor use cases to run as edge models on customer devices.
Sensors built by Infineon with help of the LBM platform will make devices like TVs, smart speakers, and smart home appliances aware of people and the world around them. Devices will automatically wake and surface information at the right time without interrupting, users will be able to control devices with gestures, and devices will have the ability to turn-on and off based on when people are around which reduces the use of energy and contributes to decarbonisation.
“We are excited to launch our strategic partnership with Archetype AI to shape innovation in Physical AI,” said Andreas Kopetz, Vice President and General Manager of Ambient Sensing at Infineon. “Infineon's innovative portfolio of IoT and sensor solutions is actively advancing decarbonisation and digitisation. Archetype AI’s foundation model development platform enables us to take this to the next level with its ability to deliver even more advanced solutions, even more quickly.”
“Infineon has a deep commitment to innovation and technical excellence,” said Ivan Poupyrev, Chief Executive Officer at Archetype AI. “We look forward to piloting our LBM AI developer platform with their world class team and providing them with the best AI technology to serve the mission critical needs of their customers in automotive, consumer electronics, healthcare, and more.”
Archetype AI’s foundation model will be available later this year through an open developer platform.
