The Genio 720 and Genio 520 represent a new generation of edge AI IoT platforms for MediaTek. Featuring an 8th generation MediaTek NPU, they bring on-device generative AI to a wide range of IoT applications, providing full hardware acceleration for transformer and convolutional neural network (CNN) models.
Unlike many other IoT platforms, the Genio 720 and 520 can be partnered with large, fast LPDDR5 memory, giving them the optimum platform to support data-intensive edge-optimized large language models (LLMs) from the global ecosystem, such as Llama, Gemini, Phi, and DeepSeek.Being Genio, they are included in our unified hardware and software environment. Developers can use MediaTek NeuroPilot 8 with a write-once, run-everywhere advantage to utilize existing software in new designs, new product verticals, and new applications, embracing new markets ahead of competitors. Alternatively, support for NVIDIA TAO provides more opportunities for application developers, putting the power of the world’s best Vision Transformers (ViTs) in the hands of every developer and service provider.
With both chips made using the power-efficient 6nm process node, devices can use fanless chassis and operate in off-grid environments and during periods of battery power. MediaTek’s expertise in multimedia continues to be ever-present, making them ideal for commercial displays, smart retail devices, HMI applications, and other multi-window or interactive applications. For example, developers can blend intelligent, real-time sensing and customization with rich multimedia content for new interactive opportunities and experiences.
Getting started with Genio 720 or 520 is easy. OSM (Open Standard Module) with reference designs greatly shortens the development cycle, further accelerating time to market – take a look at our Genio IoT area for guidelines on development kits and module partners.
