Iandola and Keutzer went on to co-found a company called DeepScale. The firm squeezes deep neural networks onto low-cost automotive grade processors for use in driver assistance systems. Tesla acquired DeepScale in 2019.[3][4]
In 2020, he co-authored SqueezeBERT, an efficient neural network for natural language processing.[5]
