Key additions include sparse neural network support that reduces computational load and power consumption by skipping zero-value operations, improving inference throughput for edge AI applications. The SDK also adds support for Spacecraft Pose Network v2 (SPNv2) for autonomous space operations. It integrates with the Libero SoC Design Suite and is available at no cost alongside the CoreVectorBlox IP. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
