Code Generation, in Progress:
We’re developing an automated system to convert ONNX models into Zig code, optimizing for performance and memory usage on embedded devices.

The first usable version of Zant SDK will be available in less than two months!
Here’s what we’ve been working on to get there:

ShapeTracker Migration:
Improved tensor shape management reduces memory overhead—critical for resource-limited embedded systems.

[Zant @zant_ai]

Mathematical Optimizations:
Matrix multiplication performance has been significantly improved using cache blocking, SIMD vectorization, and optimized memory access patterns.

Ending the year with some important technical advancements:

Trained a CNN on the MNIST dataset, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy and loss—a crucial first step toward deploying YOLO, our big milestone for the coming months

Successfully ran a simple NN on a Raspberry Pi Pico

🚀 Why is Zant Open Source? 🚀

We're building Zant as a commercial open-source company for 3 key reasons. Here’s why open source is the right path for us: 🧵👇 #OpenSource #Zant #DeveloperTools

2️⃣ Adoption: OSS lets companies try Zant without high costs or risks. This independence builds trust and makes it easy for devs to advocate for Zant as a key tool within their organizations. 💡

[Zant @zant_ai]

Built primarily in Zig (short for "Zig-ant"), Zant leverages the power of this open-source language to achieve our goals.
Stay tuned for more updates! 💡 #Zant #OpenSource #MachineLearning #EmbeddedSystems #ZigLang

🐜 Introducing Zant: an open-source SDK designed to simplify and cost-effectively deploy machine learning models on embedded and edge devices.
Our initial version will feature a static library that transforms NN models into optimized executables for specific devices.
