What is CLIKA?
CLIKA offers a robust solution for optimizing AI models for deployment across diverse hardware platforms. Its Automatic Compression Engine (ACE) SDK functions like a universal compiler and optimizer, intelligently reducing model size and increasing speed without significant performance loss. This engine analyzes model architecture to apply customized optimizations, bypassing lengthy manual processes for faster deployment readiness.
Utilizing CLIKA results in substantial benefits, including significantly reduced memory footprints (up to 87%), drastically faster inference speeds (up to 12x), and considerable cost savings (up to 90%), all while maintaining model accuracy (≤ -1% loss). The platform supports a wide range of AI models, including Vision, Audio, and LLMs (under 15B parameters), and targets major hardware backends like Nvidia, Intel, AMD, and soon Qualcomm, ensuring broad compatibility through ONNX format support.

FAQs
-
How does CLIKA compression works?
The Automatic Compression Engine (ACE) SDK functions like a universal compiler, optimizer, and translator for all AI models, targeting every major hardware backend. ACE automatically generates a unique compression plan for every model by analyzing its architecture alone, identifying and applying customized optimizations specific to that structure without needing background information on the model. -
What types of AI models does CLIKA's ACE support?
CLIKA supports all types of AI models, including custom and fine-tuned ones, with a current limitation of under 15B parameters. Support for larger models is planned. -
Would it work on my custom model?
Yes, the compression engine works on any AI model composed of supported layers. Refer to the documentation for the full list of supported layers. -
What if I can't share my model or data?
The ACE SDK can operate in on-premise or air-gapped environments, ensuring everything remains on your computers and CLIKA cannot access your private model or data. -
What types of hardware does CLIKA's ACE support?
Currently supported hardware includes Nvidia (TRT, TRT-LLM), Intel & AMD GPUs and CPUs (OpenVINO). Qualcomm (QNN, Genie) support is coming soon. CLIKA can support any hardware if its inference framework supports the ONNX format, by analyzing framework limitations and converting unsupported elements to optimized alternatives.
