Edge AI chip startup SiMa believes its combined hardware and software approach will help it become the market leader in the low power niche
T
he rise of Edge AI has largely been born out of increased demand for inference power available need the user, with organizations increasingly seeking to deploy AI algorithms and models onto local Edge devices. At present, the AI chip landscape is largely dominated by a handful of vendors developing accelerators to support ever-growing workloads in the
data center. However, as the Edge grows, opportunities lie for new companies to diverge from data center architecture. SiMa (pronounced See-ma) is one such company that is currently making waves in the Edge AI market, hoping to carve a niche for itself in the space above lower powered devices like phone chips and below the significantly more powerful data center gear.
