Shanghai GPU startup building full-stack graphics processors for AI training, inference and rendering.
Shanghai GPU startup building full-stack graphics processors for AI training, inference and rendering.
Sells GPU cards and server systems to Chinese data-centre and AI customers who want domestic alternatives to Nvidia parts, so orders depend on a small number of large buyers and on its chips being made available by outside foundries. It was founded in 2020 by former AMD engineers.
In one line: China's Nvidia challenger (GPU/AI accelerator startup).
Moat: narrow (IP / patents, process know-how). Founding team's roughly 20 years of high-performance GPU R&D experience is rare among Chinese chip startups.
Headquarters: Shanghai, China · Founded: 2020 · Employees: 925
