Deep learning computer vision is one of the core technologies that can be applied to autonomous driving to navigate roads and make quick decisions in realtime.

This is one of the reasons the car giants are racing to be first in that battlefield.

This week Hyundai Motor Company announced its strategic investment in allegro.ai, a leading technology company specializing in deep learning (DL) – based computer vision. This partnership with allegro.ai will allow Hyundai to speed up the deployment of AI technology in many business areas. This technology can improve the quality of Hyundai’s products, thereby increasing customer satisfaction while creating a safer driving environment.

Founded in 2016, allegro.ai offers the first end-to-end DL lifecycle management solution focused on deep learning as it applies to computer vision. allegro.ai’s investors include industry giants like Bosch and Samsung.

The company’s platform simplifies the process of developing and managing deep learning-powered solutions – such as autonomous vehicles, drones, security, logistics and others. Allegro.ai also announced this week the launch of two strategic initiatives – The Startup Program and The Partner Network.

allegro.ai announced today that it is making its enterprise grade solution available to selected startups that exhibit the potential to create revolutionary solutions but lack the infrastructure to do so.

The ecosystem surrounding deep learning (talent, tools, infrastructure, etc.) is underdeveloped. The tools, platforms and systems we take for granted in traditional software development do not exist as standardized commercial solutions in the deep learning arena. The Startup Program is allegro.ai’s contribution to facilitating the proliferation of enterprise-grade AI technologies.

Today, the advanced deep learning ecosystem mostly relies on research, and the challenge facing companies in general and startups specifically is to scale DL from research phases into development and production.

allegro.ai also announced today the launch of its Partner Program, following dry-runs with select partners. System integrators and professional services providers can now leverage allegro.ai’s platform to create Grade-A deep learning computer vision products and services for their customers.

allegro.ai also addresses one of the major concerns large companies have – their reluctance to expose their data or models to system integrators. By leveraging allegro.ai’s platform and products, system integrators and professional service providers can provide services and solutions to their customers, without being exposed to their customers’ data.

allegro.ai offers the first true end-to-end DL product lifecycle management solution with a focus on computer vision. Allegro’s suite of management and technical tools cover the entire development, production and deployment continuum.
