Executive Opinion

Pradeep Vajram, Chairman and CEO of AlphaICs, said, "AlphaICs innovative architecture will empower system integrators to create AI solutions with a short time-to-market while staying within the systems cost and thermal constraints. This funding will help us bring our first inference co-processor to the market for vision applications with low latency requirements. We are also working with strategic partners to bring innovative solutions to the industrial, automotive and surveillance markets".

Sateesh Andra, Managing Director with Endiya Partners, said, "Edge AI applications in consumer markets like high-end smartphones, wearables as well as enterprise markets like robots, cameras and sensors will be pervasive in the next few years. AlphaICs RAP accelerates inferencing as well as learning tasks on-device, rather than in a remote data centre delivering benefits like low latency, cost, data privacy, and security. While NVidia, Google and startups like Graphcore are poised to dominate datacentre AI, AlphaICs has the opportunity to be a market leader in enabling AI at the Edge."
