OwLite 2.5.0 Update (16 May 2025)

Hello from the OwLite team! 🎉

Today we’re thrilled to announce QNN (Qualcomm® Neural Network) output support, bringing hardware‑accelerated inference and deep profiling to Snapdragon™ & Qualcomm IoT devices — all straight from your familiar OwLite workflow.

Export Directly to QNN

• QNN is Qualcomm’s cross-platform neural-network runtime and graph format that converts trained models into hardware-optimized executables and dynamically schedules them across Snapdragon CPU, Adreno GPU, Hexagon DSP, and NPU cores for ultra-low-latency, battery-efficient on-device AI.

• QNN automatically routes each layer to the fastest engine available (CPU, Adreno GPU, Hexagon DSP, NPU) for lower latency and longer battery life.

• Keep working with OwLite’s model visualization and detailed compression setting for the best accuracy‑vs‑speed trade‑off.

Getting Started (Cloud Plan)

1. Upgrade to OwLite Cloud Plan (Settings → Subscription).

2. Install QNN Runner and issue a Device Key — be sure to pick Target Framework = QNN during issuance.

3. With owlite device connect, connect with OwLite Runner synced with Qualcomm AI Hub .

4. Join Qualcomm AI Hub, copy your API Token, and paste it into Account → API Tokens.

1. In code, call owlite.init(device="SA8775P ADP") (or another device string from the list below).

2. Open your OwLite project(framework = QNN) and configure your compression configuration.

3. Once you are done, build and benchmark your experiment with OwLite.
