Neural networks imitate the human brain but are far less efficient, using a lot of energy for training and operation. This makes it challenging to develop true AI for mobile devices.
It's aim to improve on-device AI by using its unique architecture and memristor technology. This allows edge devices to learn and process data locally, unlocking new possibilities for various applications.
Dr. Dennis Michaelis, CEO of GEMESYS commented, “At GEMESYS, our mission is to bring learning capabilities to every device through technology developed in Europe. Building on this foundation, we’re pioneering new applications that empower edge devices like never before positioning Europe as a leader in distributed intelligence and setting a new standard for industry innovation.”
Ion Hauer of APEX Ventures expressed his support, saying, “We’re excited to see GEMESYS redefine what’s possible in Edge AI. Its technology can transform countless industries and push the boundaries of on-device inference and training.”
