EXCLUSIVE: @StudioAtelico is launching an AI engine designed to bring smarter NPCs, dynamic dialogue and player-generated content into games without the cost or latency of cloud-based AI. The Atelico AI Engine runs directly on players’ devices and integrates with Unity, Unreal Engine and Godot. Its tools support image generation, speech, semantic search and AI-driven character behavior, while proprietary GPU scheduling is designed to prevent AI workloads from hurting game performance.  For developers, on-device processing also eliminates recurring cloud inference costs and keeps player data local. @deantak  spoke with Piero Molino, CEO of Studio Atelico, about the engine and how it could enable new kinds of gameplay while keeping developers in creative control. “The studios that succeed won’t be the ones using the most AI, they’ll be the ones using AI entirely in service of the player experience,” Molino said.
