Track; not yet
- Why
- Real silicon, real host interfaces (PCIe Gen2 / SPI), MetaTF tooling and live design-ins make it credible for ultra-low-power always-on edge, but no independent benchmarks, a sub-US$2M revenue base, and pre-volume status make any production commitment premature.
- Next
- Request eval samples + MetaTF SDK and run an in-house always-on keyword/vision SNN benchmark vs an Arm Ethos-U / Cortex-M baseline; reassess after Q3 2026 volume availability and the Akida 2 / TENNs GenAI roadmap
