NXP Semiconductors announced the launch of its eIQ Agentic AI Framework, a software platform that brings autonomous agentic intelligence directly to edge devices. The framework is designed to simplify and accelerate the development, orchestration, and deployment of agentic AI, allowing developers to build secure, real‑time AI systems without relying on cloud connectivity.
The new platform builds on NXP’s secure edge AI hardware and supports deterministic real‑time decision‑making and multi‑model coordination. It is compatible with the company’s i.MX 8 and i.MX 9 application processors and Ara discrete neural processing units, providing a scalable path for integrating vision, audio, time‑series and control models on a single device.
This launch is a key milestone in NXP’s broader edge‑AI strategy. It follows recent acquisitions of Aviva Links and Kinara, which expanded the company’s automotive connectivity and edge‑AI processing capabilities, and a collaboration with GE HealthCare to explore critical‑care applications. By enabling autonomous decision‑making on the edge, the framework addresses the growing demand for low‑latency, secure AI in automotive, industrial and healthcare markets.
Charles Dachs, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Secure Connected Edge, said the new agentic AI capabilities “bring autonomy to edge AI devices and deliver a crucial building block for our long‑term edge AI vision.” The quote underscores NXP’s focus on secure, real‑time performance as a differentiator in a competitive market.
Industry analysts note that the agentic AI trend is accelerating, with companies seeking to move AI workloads from the cloud to the edge to reduce latency and protect data privacy. NXP’s emphasis on security, deterministic real‑time operation, and multi‑model coordination positions it to capture a share of this expanding market, especially as automotive and industrial customers demand more autonomous, on‑device intelligence.
The eIQ Agentic AI Framework launch marks a significant operational milestone for NXP, reinforcing its commitment to edge AI and signaling confidence in the company’s strategy to deliver secure, autonomous intelligence across its product portfolio.
