How fast is AI acceleration? What if you could increase a whole industry’s output a number of times within a few months? How does it look like when you turn hand-crafted into industrial? Which are the next bottlenecks? What comes next?

Yup, platform activity is surging. There were 1 billion commits in 2025. Now, it's 275 million per week, on pace for 14 billion this year if growth remains linear (spoiler: it won't.) GitHub Actions has grown from 500M minutes/week in 2023 to 1B minutes/week in 2025, and now

Our condolences to KitKat on the loss of 12 tons of inventory. It’s a tragedy that hits close to home (mostly because we really wanted one). We’ve realized that while our AI is great at security, surveillance & industrial automation, its highest calling might actually be "confectionery preservation." We’re ready to help guard the next shipment with on-site vision that doesn't blink, doesn't sleep, and most importantly, doesn't eat the evidence. #kitkatheist #StolenKitKatTracker #HaveABreak #EdgeAI

🚨 The era of general-purpose AI is over. Today we're launching Oumi. 🚀 The platform that lets any team build custom AI models — in hours, not months. Just describe what you need. Oumi builds it. #VibeML Higher quality. Lower cost. Fully yours.

Huge congrats to Axelera AI for securing more than €200 million in new funding! 🥳 This is the largest investment ever in an EU AI semiconductor company, with participation from the EIC Fund. Read more: link.europa.eu/HbDnFQ

In 2019 @AxeleraAI was just a dream. Born as a @BitfuryGroup spinoff, today it’s a powerhouse — going from win to win. Huge congrats to @FabAroundEU and the team on making impossible possible. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Dutch startup Axelera AI, which builds power-efficient AI inference chips, raised $250M+ led by Innovation Industries, with investment from BlackRock and others (@chughesmorgan / Bloomberg) bloomberg.com/news/articles/… techmeme.com/260224/p13#a26… 📥 Send tips! techmeme.com/contact

Today, we announced more than $250 million in new funding, led by Innovation Industries with BlackRock and SiteGround Capital joining as new investors alongside many of our original backers doubling down. Total capital raised now exceeds $450 million, making this the largest investment ever in an EU AI semiconductor company. This funding isn't the story. It's a signal that the problem we set out to solve is real, urgent, and large. Most edge AI deployments today are still being built with hardware that wasn't designed for the job. Adapted datacenter chips, power budgets that don't survive procurement, thermal constraints that kill reliability in the field. The gap between what AI can do and what actually works in production is still enormous. That's the problem we set out to solve. Shipping to our 500th customer across manufacturing, retail, defense, robotics, and agritech tells us we're on the right track. And we're just getting started. Here's what comes next: Metis continues to scale globally, giving customers the performance they need within the power and thermal budgets of physical AI. Europa, our next-generation AIPU at 629 TOPS of INT8 performance, begins PCIe accelerator shipments in the first half of 2026. Workloads that were cloud-only are about to run at the edge. Then, Titania, backed by the €61.6M EuroHPC DARE grant, will extend our architecture into HPC and data center environments. And our Partner Accelerator Network keeps growing, because hardware alone doesn't win. The ecosystem around it does. None of this happens without the partners, customers, investors, and employees who believed in what we were building before it was obvious. Thank you. It's still day one, and we're just getting started. #AxeleraAI #EdgeAI #AIInference #AIHardware #Semiconductors #EuropeanTech eu1.hubs.ly/H0s1HSR0

In Europe, we have two clear options: Build like there is no tomorrow, or get further squeezed. Our generation has to act, and will be judged by the outcome… On the left, US satellites; on the right, Russian drones – both produced en masse like never before.

On 14 HD video feeds running models from SSD-MobileNet to YOLOv8l, Axelera’s Metis kept energy cost/frame stable & lowest across the board—no spikes on heavier models. That kind of real-world predictability is what edge vision builders need 🔥 Check it out: eu1.hubs.ly/H0lQM3J0

Exclusive: Nvidia edge AI chip rival @AxeleraAI has appointed a 19-year Intel veteran to grow the company’s business in the Americas, weeks after it launched a global partner program to work closely with systems integrators and value-added resellers. crn.com/news/component…

🚀 Here's a quick demo of the #Llama 3.2B chatbot running entirely on-device with Axelera AI’s Metis platform - quick to build, and easy to do! This 3B parameter model runs real-time at 7.1 tokens/sec per core — and thanks to our quad-core architecture, you can handle 4 chatbot sessions in parallel on a single chip. No cloud, no internet. In the demo, it's running on a @Lenovo P360 with our PCIe card, but also works beautifully on the @arduino Portenta X8! Perfect for edge use cases like customer service bots, hotel concierges, and so much more. Watch the demo here 👉 eu1.hubs.ly/H0kz21V0 #EdgeAI #LLM #Metis #AIhardware #InferenceAtTheEdge #SLM

Ready to play with out new @AxeleraAI Metis M.2 board 😎. Stay tuned for the full walkthrough!

Nothing beats burning the midnight oil in a maximum state of flow...

Great energy in our demo room last week as members of the #Korean Semiconductor Academy toured the Dutch chip scene with HighTech NL. Packed with passion, questions, and future collaborators. Always a pleasure to share what we’re building. 🇰🇷🇳🇱 #EdgeAI #Semiconductors
