TinyVLM: Zero-Shot Object Detection on Microcontrollers via Vision-Language Distillation with Matryoshka Embeddings
Researchers developed TinyVLM, the first framework enabling zero-shot object detection on microcontrollers with less than 1MB memory. The system achieves real-time inference at 26 FPS on STM32H7 and over 1,000 FPS on MAX78000, making AI vision capabilities practical for resource-constrained edge devices.
