Google Clips Uses Intel's Movidius Myriad 2 Vision Processing Unit

Google had a number of new hardware devices to show off at the company's launch event earlier this week. We saw the official reveal of the two new Pixel smartphones, a smaller version of the Google Home and in a surprising reveal, an AI-based camera called Google Clips. It's been confirmed that Google is using a vision processing unit from Intel called the Movidius Myriad 2 chip, that does all of the artificial intelligence processing directly on the device.

Google has been working on artificial intelligence via machine learning and neural networks for a couple of years now. We've seen their results trickle down into a number of their staple products and services including Gboard, Google Translate, Inbox by Gmail and more. SoCs from Qualcomm, Huawei and others are starting to incorporate some dedicated hardware for AI on their chips, but that's not anywhere close to what Google is able to do in the cloud.

This is where most of Google's machine learning computational work is done too – in the cloud. So it was a surprise to many when the company unveiled the Google Clips AI camera and told the world the recordings and photos would never leave the device itself unless the user agreed to upload it to Google Photos. This is even more impressive due to the artificial intelligence capabilities that the company has built into the Google Clips camera, on-device.

Many wondered how Google was able to do this all on the device itself and Intel has confirmed that it's thanks to their Movidius Myriad 2 vision processing unit (VPU). Remi El-Ouazzane, vice president and general manager of Movidius at Intel New Technology Group, says it is remarkable to see what the team at Google has been able to do in such a small device like Google Clips. He feels "this intelligent camera truly represents the level of onboard intelligence we dreamed of when developing our Myriad VPU technology."

Airtel Payments Bank Now Comes with UPI Integration for Offline & Online Payments

Earlier this year, Airtel has debuted the banking sector by launching its own payments bank. The Airtel payments bank is also the first bank to go live under this new category. Now, it also comes integrated with UPI (Unified Payment Interface), becoming the first payments bank to do so. With this integration, all the 20 million bank customers can create their own personalized UPI handles on the My Airtel app. With many digital payment platforms, the Government of India's Digital India mission looks more achievable than ever.

Using the My Airtel app, all the users with UPI handles can make instant transactions or payments in both offline and online sectors. On the other hand, the Airtel payments bank users can also use the BHIM app for making UPI-based payments. Unlike any other payments bank in India, Airtel payments bank also offers a 7.25% interest on the money added to their accounts. With the UPI, the users can also transfer to any bank account in India for zero charges.

The user can use their UPI ID instead of their personal details like bank account number or mobile number for transactions. Unlike the regular NEFT transactions, the UPI-based transactions are instant and also works 24×7. While the regular online bank transactions require minimum 30 minutes to add a new payee, the UPI-based transactions can be completed by entering the UPI handle or the mobile number. In the My Airtel app, the user can add more than one bank account under the single UPI ID for hassle-free transactions.

For businesses, there is no need of investing in a POS machine. Instead, they can use their own smartphone and most of the banks are offering the business services for free of cost up to a certain limit. With the easy-to-use and more secure process, the UPI-based payments should see a huge increase in transaction volume compared to e-wallet apps.
