SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA and HSINCHU, TAIWAN – EdgeAI Inc. a pioneering South Korean AI semiconductor startup specializing in ultra-low-power neuromorphic hardware, and Andes Technology (TWSE: 6533), a leading global supplier of high-performance, low-power 32/64-bit RISC-V processor intellectual property (IP) and a Founding Premier Member of RISC-V International, today announced the signing of a strategic IP licensing agreement.

Under this agreement, EdgeAI will integrate Andes' advanced RISC-V CPU cores into its upcoming neuromorphic system-on-chip (SoC) architecture. By pairing Andes' highly efficient computational pipeline with EdgeAI's event-driven neuromorphic accelerators, the partnership aims to deliver a breakthrough in energy efficiency and latency for the rapidly growing Edge AI sector.

Traditional AI inference at the network edge has long been bottlenecked by the stringent power constraints of localized devices. EdgeAI's neuromorphic architecture solves this by mimicking the human brain's neural structure, performing computation and storage simultaneously while processing data only when an event changes. Andes Technology's RISC-V CPU solutions deliver high-performance, low-power intelligence to AI MCU applications by combining control tasks and AI acceleration into a single efficient architecture with the RISC-V Vector (RVV) and Packed SIMD (RVP) support. Furthermore, the Andes Custom Extension (ACE) empowers developers to design custom hardware instructions that eliminate specific algorithmic bottlenecks.

EdgeAI is currently developing its 4TOPS-class Edge AI accelerator SoC "EGAI_001S" and the event-driven ultra-low-power neuromorphic NPU "EGAI_01N." The joint platform will directly address the critical demands of four major ecosystems requiring real-time, zero-latency intelligence: including industrial IoT, smart infrastructure, intelligent CCTV systems, and future mobility solutions.

Kim Jung-wook, Co-CEO of EdgeAI, stated: "We believe the on-device AI and Edge AI markets will become core growth sectors of the future AI industry. This collaboration with Andes will serve as an important milestone for EdgeAI in securing globally competitive RISC-V-based AI semiconductor technologies."

"With billions of Andes-powered AI SoCs deployed worldwide, we have built a formidable track record across the global AI landscape. We are excited to channel this extensive expertise into our collaboration with EdgeAI," said Dr. Charlie Su, President and CTO of Andes Technology. "By providing a highly efficient and customizable computational foundation, we will help EdgeAI accelerate the commercialization of South Korea's first industrial neuromorphic chip, delivering the strict sub-watt power efficiency and immediate responsiveness next-generation edge applications demand."
