# Fine tune an AI model with custom data using Edge Impulse

Edge Impulse is an end-to-end platform for building edge AI models on Qualcomm Dragonwing devices. It enables dataset creation, model training, and hardware-accelerated deployment. The platform supports audio, image, sensor data, and custom models in multiple formats.

## Train an AI model

To start building models using Edge Impulse, do the following:

1. Sign up for a free developer account at [studio.edgeimpulse.com](https://studio.edgeimpulse.com).
2. To build your first AI model, follow one of the [Tutorials](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/tutorials).

## Bring Your Own Model

Edge Impulse also supports Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) in formats such as SavedModel, ONNX, TFLite, TensorRT, or scikit-learn. Models deployed through BYOM are fully supported on Qualcomm Dragonwing platforms, with NPU acceleration available for quantized models.

If your model isn’t already quantized, you can also upload representative data set for better performance.

To bring your own model for Qualcomm Dragonwing devices, see [Edge Impulse docs > Bring Your Own Model](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/studio/projects/dashboard/byom).
