Developer Tomeu Vizoso implemented the U85 support, which builds incrementally on the existing U65 cmdstream, introduces a new scheduler, and upgrades to a newer weight encoder in Vela. The Ethos U85 offers 20% better energy efficiency than the U55/U65, scales from 128 to 2048 MAC units, and targets edge AI use cases paired with Cortex-A and Cortex-M processors. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
