Abstract

Deploying AI on microcontrollers (MCUs) is challenging. We introduce MIMaaS, a Microcontroller-as-a-Service platform that enables users to upload a model, select a target device, and receive a detailed performance report remotely. A key innovation is our measurement of real-world power consumption, alongside latency and memory usage, directly from the physical hardware. MIMaaS empowers researchers and developers to easily create and validate hardware-aware AI models without needing physical hardware access.
