AutoMCU: Feasibility-First MCU Neural Network Customization via LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems

arXiv:2605.21560v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying neural networks on microcontroller units (MCUs) is critical for edge intelligence but remains challenging due to tight memory, storage, and computation constraints. Existing approaches, such as model compression and hardware-aware neural architecture search (HW-NAS), often depend on proxy metrics, incur high search cost, and do not fully bridge the gap between architecture design and verified deployment. This paper presents AutoMCU, a feasibility-first large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent system for automated neural network cust
The increasing demand for edge AI inference and the limitations of current deployment methods are driving innovation in efficient neural network customization for MCUs.
Efficient AI deployment on microcontrollers is crucial for scaling edge intelligence across numerous applications, reducing latency, and improving data privacy.
The ability to more effectively customize and deploy neural networks on resource-constrained devices makes edge AI more feasible and widespread.
