AI chips

Silicon built to run AI — accelerators and programmable processors.

How this layer works: the hardware research

MemryX

Add-in accelerator chips that run vision AI beside the computer you already have.

A US edge-AI accelerator you can actually buy off the shelf for the price of a mid-range GPU fan — the cheapest way to find out whether dedicated inference silicon belongs in a normal machine.

AI chips

XMOS

Programmable processors for audio, voice and edge AI, configured in software.

The British answer to "what runs the AI that has to live inside the device" — software-defined silicon with hard timing guarantees, sold into voice today and aimed at robotics next.
