"Pioneering innovation in edge AI semiconductors"
Seongnam fabless AI semiconductor company; DX-M1 NPU delivers 25 TOPS at under 5W for edge robotics, drones, and autonomous vehicles.
DEEPX is a South Korean fabless AI semiconductor company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Seongnam (Pangyo), Gyeonggi-do. Founded by CEO Lokwon Kim — formerly of Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, and IBM — the company designs ultra-low-power AI NPUs (neural processing units) for on-device edge inference in robotics, drones, autonomous vehicles, and IoT. Its flagship DX-M1 chip, manufactured on Samsung Foundry's 5nm process, delivers 25 TOPS (INT8) at 2–5W power in an M.2 2280 form factor (PCIe Gen3 x4), with 4GB LPDDR5 and support for PyTorch, ONNX, TensorFlow, and TensorFlow Lite.
DEEPX co-developed the Edge Brain on-device AI chip with Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB (unveiled at CES 2026), enabling real-time robot perception, decision-making, and control without cloud connectivity. The company has raised $103M total including an $80.5M Series C at a $529M valuation (2024), won 5 CES Innovation Awards, and signed a supply agreement for 40,000 AI chips to Baidu for drones and factory robots. An IPO is planned for 2027.
