Nota AI Recognized in the 2025 MAD Landscape Edge AI Category for Innovative AI Model Compression

Nota AI, a South Korean pioneer in AI model compression and optimization technologies, has secured recognition in the prestigious 2025 MAD (Machine Learning, AI & Data) Landscape within the Edge AI category for the second consecutive year. This accolade places Nota AI alongside top global leaders such as NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Samsung, Intel, Apple, and AMD, underscoring its rising influence in the rapidly evolving edge intelligence market.

The MAD Landscape, a widely cited resource by venture capitalists and technology leaders, maps over 1,150 companies operating across AI sectors, highlighting key trends such as the shift from cloud-centered AI workloads to device- and hardware-centric computing. Edge AI is increasingly critical as industries demand AI capabilities that operate efficiently on local devices with limited connectivity.

At the core of Nota AI’s technological excellence is its proprietary NetsPresso® platform, which enables efficient compression, optimization, and deployment of AI models across diverse hardware. NetsPresso® can reduce model sizes by up to 90 percent while preserving accuracy, dramatically lowering development and maintenance costs and accelerating AI adoption in sectors like manufacturing, IoT, consumer electronics, robotics, and mobility.

Nota AI has bolstered its global presence through strategic partnerships with semiconductor manufacturers, including Samsung Electronics, Qualcomm, Renesas, and Sony, to bring on-device AI capabilities to a broad market. The company recently introduced breakthrough optimization techniques that allow large language models (LLMs) to run effectively on low-spec devices, opening new frontiers for AI accessibility.

Myungsu Chae, CEO of Nota AI, commented on the recognition: “Being highlighted in both the CB Insights AI 100 and the MAD Landscape Edge AI category confirms our technology’s world-class competitiveness. We remain committed to advancing AI compression and optimization solutions to drive the next wave of global edge AI adoption.”

Nota AI’s continued innovation and industry collaborations signify its pivotal role in shaping a future where AI seamlessly integrates into everyday devices, empowering smarter, faster, and more efficient applications worldwide.
