        Sony Semiconductor Solutions and Raspberry Pi, which have long worked together on the foundry and supply of image sensors and other semiconductor products, have expanded their partnership to bring Sony's AITRIOS edge AI products to the Raspberry Pi ecosystem to improve the performance of machine learning on low-power devices such as single-board computers.
 
 
        AITRIOS is Sony's edge AI sensing platform that makes it easier to develop visual machine learning applications that can run on the device or use the cloud when necessary. It is an acronym for "Solution", "Social Value" and "Sustaninability", three words that the company wants to convey to the world. 
        The AITRIOS platform simplifies the development and implementation of AI camera-driven and other sensing solutions. The first step of the service consists of a one-stop environment offering a variety of features that enable participating solution providers (e.g. AI developers, application developers, camera manufacturers/module integrators and system integrators) to easily build solutions from the edge to the cloud. Through the platform, Sony seeks to accelerate the development of optimal systems that work together at the edge and in the cloud, and support partners in promoting and scaling environmentally aware edge AI sensing solutions that deliver new value and help solve challenges across industries. 
        Speaking at the tinyML Summit 2021, Eben Upton, CEO and co-founder of Raspberry Pi, said that the micro-accelerator core being worked on by the company's internal ASIC team was in line with Sony's vision for AITRIOS. Through this expanded partnership, Sony Semiconductor Solutions' President and CEO, Shushi Shimizu, said the company will support a wide range of industries to solve problems and create new value using Sony's innovative edge AI sensing technology with image sensors at its core. Another topic of interest to creators is when the Raspberry Pi 5 is scheduled to be released in 2023, as the current 4th generation is already due out in 2019. What is certain is that we are unlikely to see a Raspberry Pi 5 until 2024, and there is no word on whether it will even be released in 2024.
