Axelera AI Voyager SDK Outperforms Hyperscaler Datacenter GPUs
By
–
You've never heard of Axelera AI's Voyager? It's the SDK that made the Metis run in less than twelve parsecs. It's outrun hyperscaler GPUs. Not the local inference boxes, mind you. I'm talking about the big datacenter racks now. She's fast enough for you, old man…

Axelera Metis Demo Jam Showcases Developer Innovation
By
–
Our first Demo Jam was supposed to be a low-effort thing. That is not what happened.
The brief was simple: 1 to 2 minute videos of anything built with Axelera Metis and the Voyager SDK. A cool technique, a feature demo, a work-in-progress. We pitched it as low-commitment on -
Edge AI Microscopy System Tracks Paramecium for 5+ Hours
