OUR VISION

Rapid advances in the development of ever-more-complex machine learning algorithms and an explosion in the use of machine learning to introduce AI into all walks of life is massively increasing demand for significant improvements in latency, throughput, energy and cost. Growth is unsustainable using traditional software-only solutions and constrained by many general-purpose AI inference chips.

Our vision is to produce machine learning inference solutions which meet the exacting demands of tomorrow’s real-time inference workloads using minimum compute capacity and minimum energy, thus advancing the vast potential of machine learning to enhance our lives without costing the planet.
