ModelNova, an Edge AI company based in the US and Chennai, announced its full-scale launch as an independent company.ModelNova is a collection of small AI models that can be embedded on chips in devices such as remotes, cameras, and sensors for on-device AI use cases like face scanning, wireless technologies, and anomaly detection, among others.ModelNova already powers Edge AI ecosystems for two major silicon vendors, with production models proven in real-world consumer, medical, and AIoT markets, a media release from the company said“ModelNova began as our answer to a simple question: why is it still so hard to turn a working AI model into a real product at the edge? Establishing ModelNova as an independent company lets us go after that problem with full focus — giving developers a free place to start, a platform to build on, and production-ready models they can license and ship,” said Rajesh Subramaniam, CEO & Founder of embedUR systems.Published on July 16, 2026
