EdgeCortix's SAKURA-II AI Accelerator Brings Low-Power Generative AI to Raspberry Pi 5 and other Arm-Based Platforms
This powerful integration marks a major leap in democratizing real-time Generative AI capabilities at the edge. Designed with a focus on low power consumption and high AI throughput, the EdgeCortix SAKURA-II M.2 module enables developers to run advanced deep learning models directly on compact, affordable platforms like the Raspberry Pi 5—without relying on cloud infrastructure.
'Bringing our low-power AI acceleration technology to Raspberry Pi 5 users opens the door for innovators and enterprises around the world to build smarter, faster, and more efficient edge AI-driven devices and systems rapidly,' said Dr. Sakyasingha Dasgupta, Founder and CEO of EdgeCortix. 'We're excited to bring real-world Generative AI capabilities to embedded Arm platforms and fuel the next wave of intelligent, autonomous systems as we pioneer the future of the connected intelligent edge.'
'Pairing the Raspberry Pi 5 with EdgeCortix's SAKURA-II delivers an incredibly efficient and scalable platform for real-time generative AI at the edge', said Sailesh Chittipeddi, Venture Partner at Novo Tellus Capital Partners and Board Member at both Lantronix and Tessolve. 'What's equally compelling is SAKURA-II's ability to accelerate a broad range of Arm-based systems, empowering next-gen IOT and edge applications engineers to deploy high-performance AI solutions across diverse applications without the cost or power burden of traditional data center hardware.'
Key Benefits of SAKURA-II with Raspberry Pi5 and other Arm-enabled Platforms:
Ability to run the latest Gen AI on-device: Run advanced AI models including Vision Transformers, Small Language Models, and Vision Language Models (VLMs) directly on-device, with minimal latency and power draw.
Optimized for Arm: Seamless offloading of AI workloads from Arm processors allows for balanced performance and efficiency.
Fast time-to-market: Developers can quickly scale from prototypes to production using production-ready SAKURA-II M.2 modules with certified Raspberry Pi 5 and other Arm platforms.
Affordable AI Deployment: SAKURA-II and Raspberry Pi deliver powerful edge AI at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions—reducing infrastructure needs and enabling cost-efficient scaling.
Offline, Autonomous AI for SWaP-C-Constrained Environments: Perfect for drones, robotics, smart agriculture, and security—where size, weight, power, and cost limitations demand efficient on-device intelligence.
With these Arm platforms, EdgeCortix is empowering a broad ecosystem of developers and hardware innovators to build cost-effective, production-ready edge AI solutions. Pairing the SAKURA-II M.2 Module's high-performance acceleration with the accessibility of Raspberry Pi 5 and other Arm-based devices, advanced Generative AI workloads—including ViTs, LLMs, VLMs—can now run efficiently at the edge. This enables both startups and enterprises to deploy intelligent applications without depending on the cloud.

Lucid Air Goes 747 Miles on a Charge, Sets New Guinness World Record for EV Range
A new record for electric vehicle range on a single battery charge has been set, and it wasn't Tesla that secured the crown. Instead, California-based luxury startup Lucid now holds a Guinness World Record Holder for the longest journey by an electric car on a single charge, and the distance is genuinely impressive. Lucid managed to push its Air Grand Touring sedan to a distance of 747 miles in July, traveling between St. Moritz, Switzerland, and Munich, Germany. Previously, the record was set at 649 miles in June 2025 by a Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ between two Japanese cities. This new record by Lucid is especially impressive considering the route between St. Moritz and Munich includes mountain passes, secondary roads, and highway driving. "This range record represents a significant milestone – it's yet another clear demonstration of the technological edge that defines Lucid," Eric Bach, senior vice president of product and chief engineer at Lucid, said in a statement. "Our Lucid products combine world-class vehicle efficiency with the most advanced drive units, ultra-high voltage architecture, and battery management technology available today." Now, the standard Lucid Air Grand Touring sports an EPA range of 516 miles, meaning this Guinness World Record was accomplished with unusual tactics of some sort. Lucid turned to Umit Sabanci, a London-based entrepreneur with the Guinness title of most countries visited on a single charge in a production battery electric vehicle, for consultation on how to stretch its luxury liner's capabilities. Sabanci's experience with traversing nine countries on a single charge in a Lucid Air Grand Touring seems to have brought driving insights and efficiency tactics, but it remains unclear if the Lucid Air Grand Touring used was tweaked in any way for this latest trip. "When I completed the nine-country journey in 2024, it was just the beginning," said Sabanci. "This new achievement takes that journey even further. I'm proud to be part of a movement that proves electric mobility isn't just the future; it's already redefining what's possible today." Driving 749 miles without stopping generally takes at least 12 hours, a feat that we're physiologically impressed by to say the least. That distance does give you a wide range of city-to-city connections in the continental U.S. A single charge and some judicious use of the right pedal could ferry you between New York City and a Waffle House in Columbia, South Carolina in an Air Grand Touring. Similarly, it's just about the driving distance between San Diego and California's border with Oregon.
