The Metis M.2 AI Accelerator Card range from Axelera AI delivers high-performance edge inference in a compact and efficient M.2 2280 form factor. Powered by the Metis AIPU, each card offers up to 214 INT8 TOPS of compute performance while maintaining a low typical power consumption of just 3.5–9W. Designed for x86 and ARM-based hosts, the cards connect via PCIe Gen3 x4 and feature secure boot and root of trust to ensure strong hardware-level protection.

Available in both active- and passive-cooled variants, with extended temperature options down to -40°C and up to +85°C, the Metis M.2 family supports demanding deployments across robotics, drones, surveillance, industrial automation, medical imaging, agritech and more. A single card can run inference on multiple cameras, enabling scalable AI across different industries.

The included Voyager SDK accelerates software integration with a rich model zoo, compiler support for PyTorch and ONNX, and end-to-end pipeline optimisation tools. This enables developers to evaluate performance in minutes and build customised, production-ready AI applications with minimal effort.
