Introduction

Introduction#

Welcome to Mobilint’s SDK qb documentation page!

This guide helps developers, engineers, and researchers set up SDK qb and run AI inference on supported hardware.

Whether you are building a prototype on a desktop or deploying on an embedded AI system, SDK qb provides the essential building blocks to harness the full compute potential of Mobilint’s hardware.

Tip

qb Runtime v1.1.0 released — auto core mode, new query APIs, and performance optimizations. See the update note.

What is SDK qb?#

SDK qb is Mobilint’s software development kit designed to enable efficient and optimized utilization of Mobilint’s Neural Processing Unit (NPU).

SDK qb is composed of three proprietary modules that bring out the full performance of Mobilint’s NPU products and enable seamless integration in deployment processes.

  • Driver — The bridge between software and hardware.

  • qb Runtime — Convenient and fast inference using internal optimized logic.

  • qb Compiler — Translates deep learning models into Mobilint’s executable format, MXQ.

These modules are available in flexible combinations depending on the form factor and core NPU involved.

Technical Overview#

The following diagrams show how SDK qb’s components work within the target application and device.

Model Build

Runtime Execution

SDK qb supports both Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows OS for easier system integration. It is compatible with major deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, TFLite, ONNX, KERAS, and PyTorch. The runtime library provides interfaces in both C++ and Python.

Mobilint Model Zoo#

Mobilint provides a growing Model Zoo of open-source models precompiled with Mobilint’s qubee compiler.

With over 400 models across computer vision, natural language processing, and multimodal AI, these .mxq (Mobilint eXeCUtable) files are optimized for Mobilint’s runtime and can be deployed immediately on supported NPU hardware.

New models are added regularly to support evolving AI workloads and customer requests.
