ASUS has launched its first AI USB device, the UGen 300 AI accelerator. The device is designed to bring AI processing capabilities to a wide range of systems without requiring a dedicated GPU.
The UGen 300 is powered by a Hailo-10H AI processor that delivers 40 TOPS of performance. It includes 8GB of dedicated LPDDR4 memory and connects via a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C interface. The device consumes only 2.5W under typical workloads. It supports Windows, Linux, and Android operating systems, as well as AI frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and ONNX. ASUS also provides UGen Utility software with over 100 pre-trained models.
The UGen 300 is priced at 6380 TWD (about $202) in Taiwan.
The accelerator offers low latency for AI tasks without relying on cloud computing, according to ASUS. It is a compact device measuring 105 x 50 x 18mm. The UGen 300 is ASUS's first entry into the USB AI accelerator market.
