SAN JOSE, Calif., March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nota AI, a leading AI model compression and optimization company, and SiMa.ai, a leading physical AI company, today announced a strategic partnership to expand their presence in the physical AI market. The signing ceremony took place at SiMa.ai's headquarters in San Jose, California.

Delivering physical AI at the edge presents a significant technical challenge: achieving high inference performance and power efficiency simultaneously. This partnership carries particular significance as two companies — each holding unrivaled expertise on the hardware and software sides of the equation — come together to address this challenge by combining their respective strengths.

The two companies will collaborate closely on ▲joint development and commercialization of on-device AI solutions, ▲expansion of the technology partnership, and ▲identification of customers and joint execution of pilot projects. In particular, SiMa.ai will leverage its global sales channels and partner network to actively identify joint business opportunities, while establishing tight technical integration between Nota.ai's NetsPresso® SDK and SiMa.ai's Palette™ SDK at the platform level.

Nota AI will utilize NetsPresso®, its AI model compression and optimization platform, to enable AI models to run more efficiently on SiMa.ai's high performance and efficiency MLSoC products. The platform supports efficient optimization and deployment across diverse hardware environments, reducing model sizes by over 90% while maintaining high levels of accuracy. Through this, Nota AI aims to maximize inference performance on the SiMa.ai MLSoC and build an optimized edge AI environment capable of handling high-performance workloads even under low-power constraints.

In addition, Nota AI's generative AI-based video intelligence solution, NVA (Nota Vision Agent), will be optimized for SiMa.ai hardware and deployed across a range of industrial environments including Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), safety, and security. Building on this foundation, the two companies also plan to pursue joint business opportunities in physical AI domains such as robotics and mobility.

SiMa.ai brings a critical hardware and software foundation to this partnership through its purpose-built, software-centric platform designed specifically for Physical AI. At the core of this value is SiMa.ai's Modalix™ MLSoC™, an ultra-efficient machine learning system-on-chip that delivers best-in-class multimodal inference and extraordinary performance with exceptional energy efficiency at the edge. Paired with the SiMa.ai Palette SDK—which simplifies the deployment of complex edge AI applications without compromising performance or ease of use—this platform provides the flexibility needed to process real-time, multi-modal interactions. Together, this enables customers to seamlessly scale high-performance, low-power AI workloads across robotics, automotive, smart vision, and industrial automation.

Myung-su Chae, CEO of Nota AI, said, "We see great significance in the fact that Nota AI's AI optimization technology, combined with SiMa.ai's platform, can accelerate our expansion into physical AI. We look forward to working together with SiMa.ai to build on-device AI solutions that can be practically deployed in real-world industrial environments."

Krishna Rangasayee, Founder and CEO of SiMa.ai, said, "Software optimization is not optional — it is essential for AI models to run reliably in physical AI environments. We are confident that Nota AI's AI optimization expertise, which maximizes AI model performance for specific hardware environments, will play an important role in realizing SiMa.ai's physical AI strategy."

Nota AI and SiMa.ai Sign Strategic Partnership for Physical AI Technology Collaboration

News Summary

• Relativity expands its Relativity Academic program with modules around its aiR suite of legal AI solutions, large language models and generative AI to prepare students for modern legal work.
• The program, now in its 14^th year, reaches over 3,000 students annually and aims to equip future legal professionals with in-demand AI skills as the industry prioritizes tech-enabled talent.
• Relativity Academic provides free, hands-on experience with real-world legal technology to thousands of students worldwide.

CHICAGO, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Relativity, a legal data intelligence company, today announced it has expanded Relativity Academic, its program that provides education to law school and paralegal students, with access to the generative AI-powered solutions in its aiR suite. Beginning in June, the Relativity Academic program curriculum will include modules covering large language models, generative AI, and how to use aiR for Review, aiR for Case Strategy, and aiR for Privilege.

"This incorporation of aiR solutions into the Relativity Academic curriculum goes beyond our proven dedication to expanding access to technology. This move is emblematic of our trust and investment in the next generation of legal talent," said Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity. "The future of the legal profession is an AI-ready one and we want to further support the legal leaders of tomorrow with the knowledge and skill sets they need to enter the workforce with a bang."

According to the 2025 State of the Legal Industry report from SurePoint Technologies, law firms are increasingly recruiting legal professionals with AI expertise. Further, from 2024 to 2025, the report found that lateral hiring within the specialty of AI grew 68% across all attorney types in Am Law 200 firms, and associate lateral hiring increased by 106%. Relativity recognizes the importance of technology and AI proficiency in the hiring process and its academic program aims to arm students with the type of firsthand experience necessary to differentiate themselves amongst their peers.

"The Relativity Academic Program has been a boon to e-discovery education for over a decade, giving students not just conceptual grounding but genuine hands-on experience with the tools they will use in practice. Now, true to form, Relativity has stepped up to meet the watershed moment that generative AI represents for the profession," said William F. Hamilton, Master Legal Skills Professor at University of Florida Levin College of Law. "Adding aiR into the Academic Program does something essential: it moves students beyond awareness of generative AI into actual engagement with it, learning to interact with the technology, evaluate its outputs, and exercise the judgment that defines good lawyering. That capacity to think critically and judge wisely is the skill that will carry our students, and our profession, into the future."

Since it was established in 2012, the Relativity Academic program has partnered with more than 115 universities, law schools, paralegal and data science programs across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and select Asian and European countries, equipping over 3,000 students in the past year with practical experience using the same technology relied on by corporations, law firms, and government agencies.

Relativity Academic provides law schools, as well as paralegal and data science programs, with a hands-on technology component for their courses and access to a workspace in the AI platform for legal data intelligence, RelativityOne, free of charge. Participating students gain experience with AI-powered legal technology solutions, giving them a valuable foundation prior to graduating and entering the workforce.

Additionally, Relativity Academic delivers training for faculty, hands-on resources, localized curriculum and a community of Relativity professionals. Through the program, now in its 14^th year, instructors can design assignments that mirror real-world scenarios, giving students direct experience with document review, issue tagging, workflow management, and case organization.
