Axelera AI

Traditionally, bringing a complex AI model to new AI acceleration hardware is complex. Most companies do not offer any low level programming layer, they provide a model zoo and and a black box compiler. If you need something new, you need to wait for months until the compiler supports it. Some companies offer programmability but performance is simply not there, only their engineers are equipped with the tools to extract the performance out of the hardware.
