AUSTIN, TX, February 5, 2026 - Ambiq Micro, Inc. ("Ambiq®"), a technology leader in ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions for edge AI, has received the EDN Product of the Year Award for its neuralSPOT® AI software development kit (SDK) under the Development Kit category. The award recognizes neuralSPOT's real-world impact in simplifying AI development and accelerating deployment on power-constrained devices.
The recognition follows the release earlier this week of neuralSPOT v1.3.0, which provides expanded platform and product support, improved Windows compatibility, and increased deployment flexibility for embedded AI developers working with Ambiq's latest Apollo330 Plus and Apollo510B system-on-chip (SoCs).
neuralSPOT is Ambiq's open-source software development kit designed to streamline the entire edge AI workflow-from prototyping and profiling to optimization and production deployment. Developers can evaluate AI models using real-world sensor data and integrate optimized static libraries directly into production applications, reducing development cycles and deployment risk.
By quickly expanding neuralSPOT support to new silicon platforms, Ambiq continues to increase AI development coverage across its Apollo SoC portfolio. This consistent, reusable workflow enables developers to scale AI solutions across multiple products and form factors-significantly reducing time-to-market while ensuring strict power and performance requirements.
neuralSPOT v1.3.0 makes LiteRT (formerly Google's TensorFlow Lite) optional within AutoDeploy, neuralSPOT's built-in AI model profiling and deployment tool. This removes a Windows dependency limitation and enables AutoDeploy to run seamlessly in Windows-based development environments, increasing accessibility and flexibility for embedded AI developers.
Ambiq neuralSPOT Wins 2025 EDN Product of the Year Award 4Now in its 50th year, the EDN Product of the Year Awards recognize products that deliver meaningful advancements in technology and measurable improvements in design efficiency and performance.
Documentation for neuralSPOT is available on Ambiq's GitHub page.
