Reinventing how computers think based on biological neural networks

Neuromorphic Computing

Deeplite is an AI software company that specializes in optimizing deep neural networks for deployment on edge devices. The company's core products, Deeplite Neutrino and Deeplite Runtime (DeepliteRT), are designed to make AI model inference faster, more compact, and energy-efficient. These solutions enable organizations to run large, process-heavy AI models on devices with limited compute power, such as CPUs and MCUs. Deeplite's technology allows for the deployment of AI on edge devices like security cameras, sensors, drones, mobile phones, and vehicles.
The company's DeepliteRT solution, introduced in January 2022, allows customers to utilize existing Arm CPUs for computer vision at the edge while delivering GPU-level performance. This innovation enables businesses to run complex AI tasks on low-power CPUs, eliminating the need for expensive and power-hungry GPU-based hardware solutions. DeepliteRT uses ultra-compact quantization to make AI models smaller and faster in production deployment without compromising accuracy.
In February 2022, Deeplite expanded its reach by becoming a Platinum Strategic Partner of the tinyML Foundation, an organization focused on developing and deploying ultra-low power machine learning solutions at the edge. This partnership aims to advance the technology vision of tinyML and bring it to real-world applications.
Deeplite's commitment to innovation in AI optimization has earned recognition in the industry. The company won a Silver Stevie Award in the 19th Annual International Business Awards in August 2022 for its Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning solutions. Additionally, Deeplite was named to CRN's 10 Hottest AI Startups of 2021 and the 2021 Big50 startup Report.

Celestial AI is a Santa Clara-based company that has developed the Photonic Fabric, an optical interconnect technology platform for compute and memory in AI infrastructure. The company's proprietary technology uses light for data movement both within and between chips, aiming to address the challenges of increasing memory capacity and bandwidth requirements in advanced AI models.
Celestial AI's Photonic Fabric technology claims to deliver over 25x greater bandwidth and memory capacity while reducing latency and power consumption by up to 10x compared to existing copper and optical interconnect alternatives. The company's Memory Fabric offers tens of terabytes of optically scalable memory capacity, supporting current HBM3e and future HBM4 bandwidth and latency requirements. Their Compute Fabric enables clusters of hundreds of GPUs or AI accelerators to be optically interconnected with high bandwidth, low latency, and low energy consumption.
The company's technology is designed to be compatible with existing industry standards including CXL, PCIe, UCIe, JEDEC HBM, and proprietary electrical communication links. Celestial AI offers its Photonic Fabric optical interconnect technology and silicon-proven IP through a technology licensing program. Additionally, the company has developed the Orion AI accelerator, which harnesses the full end-to-end benefits of the Photonic Fabric.
Key customers and partnerships
Celestial AI has established partnerships with major semiconductor companies. In March 2024, Samsung Electronics and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) participated in Celestial AI's Series C funding round, indicating potential strategic collaborations. The company has also mentioned working with high-volume commercial supply chain partners to build a robust Photonic Fabric ecosystem.

Generating, collecting, and analyzing enterprise data will never be the same.

Edge Computing

Deeplite offers an automated software engine to optimize Deep Neural Network (DNN) models for AI and ML on a range of edge devices such as cameras, sensors, drones, phones, and vehicles. Deeplite aims to improve cost efficiency and address compute resource constraints relating to ML application by making the models more compact and energy-efficient.The company launched its “NeutrinoTM” software in mid-2020 (around one year after inception) and had a workforce of 15 employees as of April 2021, which it intends to double by the end of 2021.In April 2021, Deeplite raised USD 6 million in seed funding, led by PJC, which it intends to invest in R&amp;D, expanding its headcount, and entering new markets.

Celestial AI is a machine learning accelerator company developing an optical interconnect technology platform for data centers and AI solutions. It utilizes the advantages of photonics, mixed-signal ASICs, and advanced packaging to offer a sustainable improvement in computing performance that helps clients deliver superior AI acceleration hardware and software alternatives. The company's Photonic FabricTM provides the foundational technology for optically scalable, disaggregated data center computing and memory to unleash advancements in AI with sustainable and profitable business models.

Deeplite creates intelligent optimization software for deep learning deployed on cloud servers and edge devices. Deeplite provides a platform that uses AI to automatically make other AI models smaller, faster, and more energy efficient creating compact, high-performance deep neural networks that can run at the “edge” in vehicles, cameras, sensors, drones, phones; devices you use every day.  A significant challenge with deep learning models is that they are too large to deploy on small hardware, too slow to process mission critical applications or compromise battery life.  Deeplite solves this problem by using a fully automated, proprietary and patented AI engine to optimize DNN models so that they can be deployed to any hardware platform on any device.  . Our technology leverages years of research and new developments in tinyML to produce fast, efficient and scalable deep learning solutions for challenging real-world environments. At Deeplite, we enable AI for everyday life.
