European startup Vybium is developing am AI accelerator chip using the open RISC-V instruction set architecture to take on the Nvidia A100 GPU in the data centre.
Vybium is a fabless semiconductor startup still operating in stealth mode and is using RISC-V for European Digital Strategic Autonomy for AI. It was founded by VRULL in Austria and Software Ecosystem Solutions in Albania to develop RISC-V AI accelerators for all verticals.
TO speed up its chip development, it has licensed the NPU IP from Stream Computing and is adding new data types, support for sparsity, and higher-bandwidth memory solutions to the integrated design.
