Hailo, a Tel Aviv-based AI chipmaker, today announced that it is now sampling its Hailo-8 chips, the first of its deep learning processors. The new chip promises up to 26 tera operations per second (TOPS) and the company is now testing it with a number of select customers, mostly in the automotive industry.
Hailo first appeared on the radar last year, when it raised a $12.5 million Series A round. At the time, the company was still waiting for the first samples of its chips. Now, the company says that the Hailo-8 will outperform all other edge processors and do so at a smaller size and with fewer memory requirements. “By designing an architecture that relies on the core properties of neural networks, edge devices
