AI models keep getting bigger, but memory is quickly becoming the real limitation. TurboQuant takes a different approach by focusing on runtime memory instead of model size. By compressing the key value cache, it can significantly reduce memory usage while keeping performance intact. The result is simple. Longer context, faster processing, and the ability to run more capable models on the same hardware. If you are working with AI or embedded systems, this is a development worth paying attention to.

We’re live now — join the Scrutiny Debugger webinar for real-time embedded systems. In this session, Pier-Yves Lessard demonstrates how instrumentation can be used to debug, visualize, and test C/C++ embedded applications without relying on a traditional debug probe. This approach is especially valuable for real-time systems where stopping execution is not an option. The webinar covers: • Real-time variable access and signal visualization • Client-server architecture and embedded integration • Monitoring, calibration, and automated testing • Hardware-in-the-loop testing and event-triggered data capture Attendees also have the chance to win one of three copies of The CAN Bus Companion.

Some projects are simple in concept but clever in execution. The CoffeeCaller is one of those. Built around the nRF52840, it uses wireless communication to notify you when your coffee is ready, turning a small everyday moment into a neat embedded solution. It’s a good example of how low power connectivity and compact hardware can be used in practical, real world scenarios without adding complexity. If you enjoy creative embedded projects that solve everyday problems, this one is worth a look. Read the full article here: elektormagazine.com/news/coffeecal…

Happening tomorrow, April 8, 2026 at CEST — join @briantw for a new episode of Elektor Engineering Insights dedicated to making Edge AI more accessible and practical for real-world engineering applications. In this session, Marta Barbero from @arduino and Alessandro Grande from @EdgeImpulse come together to show how tighter integration between development tools can simplify the full workflow, from data collection and model training to deployment on embedded hardware. We will also explore how platforms like Arduino App Lab are evolving to reduce complexity, enabling engineers to accelerate the development of intelligent applications in vision, audio, and sensor-based systems. Key topics include: • Moving efficiently from prototype to deployment on constrained devices • Selecting between optimized lightweight models and more advanced architectures • Exploring new possibilities with the latest Arduino hardware platforms As an added bonus, attendees will have the chance to participate in a giveaway during the session for a chance to win 3 copies of the special Edge Impulse edition of Elektor Mag, as well as the brand-new Elektor Academy Pro book, ‘Arduino UNO Q and AI: Learn to Build Intelligent Embedded Systems’. Whether you are already working with Edge AI or just starting out, this session provides practical insights you can apply immediately. Register here: streamyard.com/watch/wQxscfAY…

Test and measurement tools are becoming more flexible and easier to adapt to different needs. The new Red Pitaya STEMlab Gen 2 builds on that idea. It keeps the compact all in one concept while adding more performance and flexibility for engineers in research, industry, or education. What makes it interesting is how easily it can be adapted. Instead of fixed functionality, you can shape it around your use case, whether that is measurement, analysis, or control. If you are looking for a more flexible approach to test and measurement, this is worth a look. Read the full article here: elektormagazine.com/news/red-pitay…

Edge AI is becoming more practical — but the real question is how to move from idea to working device without unnecessary complexity. That’s exactly what this upcoming Elektor Engineering Insights webinar explores. By combining Arduino App Lab with Edge Impulse, the focus is on simplifying the full workflow — from data collection and model training to deployment on real hardware. Instead of treating AI as a concept, the discussion looks at the actual engineering process. How do you reduce friction between tools? When do smaller, task-specific models make more sense? And what changes when platforms like UNO Q and VENTUNO Q enter the picture? If you're working with embedded systems and want to make AI more usable in real projects, this is definitely worth your time. Read more and register here: elektormagazine.com/news/arduino-e…

KiCad continues to evolve — but what really matters is how it performs in everyday use. That’s the idea behind KiCad Week’s system check. It’s an opportunity for engineers and developers to share their experience with this open-source PCB design tool — from usability and features to how it fits into real workflows. As KiCad keeps growing, feedback from the community plays a key role in shaping what comes next. It’s not just about new features, but about how well the tool supports actual design challenges.

Cameras are starting to do more than just capture — they’re beginning to respond. The EasyGimbal project shows how an STM32-based system can turn a camera into an autonomous tracker, using on-device AI to follow a subject in real time. By combining pose detection with motor control, it keeps the subject centered without manual input. What stands out is how approachable it is. With accessible components and a clear structure, it brings Edge AI into something you can actually build and experiment with. If you’re exploring AI in embedded systems, this is well worth a look.
