Arm expands AI licensing program to boost on-device AI market share

Oct 20 (Reuters) - Arm Holdings said on Monday it is expanding its Flexible Access licensing program to cover its Armv9 edge AI platform, aiming to attract startups and device makers developing on‑device AI by lowering entry barriers and accelerating design cycles. The Flexible Access program allows companies to use its chip design tools and training for little or no cost, enabling them to build and test new chip concepts. Sign up here. Companies including hardware firms Raspberry Pi, Hailo and SiMa.ai have participated in the program, Arm said. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Opening up the licensing program strengthens Arm's ties with AI startups and on‑device AI providers that might otherwise be priced out by costly licenses, positioning Arm to embed its technology across emerging AI devices. CONTEXT Companies from self-driving vehicle makers to retail inventory software developers are adopting edge AI, which runs artificial‑intelligence models on devices such as smartphones and laptops to process data on the spot rather than sending it to the cloud.
