Nota (CEO Myung-soo Chae), a company specializing in AI model optimization and lightweight technology, has been officially recognized for the innovation of its on-device AI technology.

Nota announced on the 15th that it has once again proven its technological competitiveness in the on-device AI field by being selected for the '2026 Emerging AI+X Top 100' announced by the Korea Artificial Intelligence Industry Association (AIIA).

This selection reflects the company's achievements in creating real value in industrial settings based on its AI lightweighting and optimization capabilities, which are considered core technologies in the era of physical AI.

The 'Emerging AI+X Top 100' is a system that discovers companies that will lead future innovation by converging with various industries based on AI technology.

Industry, academic, and research experts, as well as venture capital evaluators, participate in a comprehensive evaluation of technological prowess, growth potential, and marketability. This year, approximately 2,400 companies applied, making the competition fierce.

Nota has been named in major global and domestic AI evaluations, following its inclusion in CB Insights' "2025 Global Innovative AI Startup 100" and "2025 MAD Landscape" edge AI category last year.

Nota's core competitive edge is its independently developed AI model optimization and lightweight platform, NetsPresso.

Netpresso is a platform that can automatically compress, optimize, and distribute AI models according to hardware characteristics, reducing model size by up to 90% or more while maintaining accuracy.It is characterized by maintaining accuracy.

This allows companies to significantly reduce AI development and operation costs, and is being used to accelerate AI adoption in various industries, including manufacturing, mobility, and security.

Another key solution, the Vision-Language Model (VLM)-based video surveillance system 'Nota Vision Agent (NVA)', also received high marks.

NVA provides real-time risk alerts, automatic report generation, and natural language-based image search and question-and-answer capabilities, significantly improving operational efficiency in industrial safety, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and mobility control.

It quickly analyzes complex situations to shorten response times and supports data-driven decision-making in various fields, such as preventing accidents in manufacturing sites and optimizing urban traffic flow.

Nota CEO Chae Myeong-su said, “This selection is recognition of Nota’s capabilities in creating practical innovations in industrial settings based on on-device AI technology,” and added, “As a key player in the era of physical AI, we will strengthen cooperation with global tech companies and continue to innovate a sustainable AI ecosystem.”
