The device is designed for on-device AI operations, running completely locally without needing a connection to the internet or cloud-based services. According to The Decoder, the board features a Coral NPU machine learning unit based on the open RISC-V architecture. Developed by Google Research, the processor aims to resolve fragmentation issues among existing hardware accelerators. The system is powered by a Synaptics Astra SL2619 chip, which features a 2 GHz dual-core processor, 2 GB of RAM, and 1 TOPS of computing power. It runs Google’s open-source Gemma 3 270M language model entirely on the hardware. Google demonstrated several capabilities of the device at the event, including real-time translation and voice-controlled hardware. The company also showed a generative music performance using YOLOv8. The board will ship this summer.
