About

Based in Silicon Valley (SF), United States

We're building state-of-the-art energy-efficient reconfigurable chips ("XPUs") for AI. Our XPUs optimize dataflow and reduce memory movement through localization and instruction fusion, delivering superior energy efficiency, versatility, and throughput compared to traditional accelerators like GPUs and TPUs.

We're essentially building the substrate that will power all future knowledge and scientific discovery.
