Plumerai has secured £6.4m in a Series A funding round led by new investors Partech and OTB Ventures, with participation from Acclimate Ventures and existing backers. The capital will support the company as it expands its on-device artificial intelligence offerings and introduces new vision language model capabilities for smart cameras.

The latest financing follows previous deployments across millions of devices and arrives alongside the launch of new video search and captioning tools designed to provide deeper analytical insights.
From the founder
"We are at an exciting point in time where powerful Vision LLMs are now both accurate and cost efficient enough to open up valuable new use cases, thanks to our combination of on-device Tiny AI with cloud-based Vision LLMs. We’re going to make it possible for everyone to have their own AI security guard and assistant that never gets distracted, so they feel safer and calmer than ever before. It will warn you about a stranger in your backyard, a leaking water pipe, or simply help you find your keys. And it’s not just for the home, but for retail, offices, warehouses, elderly care and more. The trust of our partners and investors allows us to bring powerful AI into the physical world, beyond desktops and the cloud."

Founder and CEO at Plumerai
Investor perspective

They are on track towards a future where trillions of intelligent edge devices are equipped with their AI."
