DEEPX

DEEPX is a South Korean fabless semiconductor startup building ultra-low-power neural processing units (NPUs) for on-device and edge AI. Founded in 2018 by former Apple chip designer Lokwon Kim, the company designs AI accelerators - led by its 25 TOPS DX-M1 chip - that run vision and generative AI models at under 5 watts, aiming to move intelligence out of the data center and into robots, cameras, factories, mobility and everyday devices. It raised an $80.5M Series C in 2024 at a $529M valuation and positions itself as a 'Physical AI infrastructure company.'
