Homo Intelligence is committed to breaking through the performance and power consumption bottleneck of intelligent computing chips and completes financing

Houmo Intelligence recently announced the completion of an angel round of financing of tens of millions of dollars, led by Sequoia Capital China and followed by Matrix Partners China, Lenovo Capital, Hony Capital, IMO Ventures and other capitals.

According to the official website of Houmo Intelligence, the company was founded in 2020 and focuses on the creation of original new intelligent computing chips and integrated hardware and software platforms. The company's founding team comes from well-known universities such as Princeton University, University of California, Tsinghua University, Peking University, and first-tier chip companies such as AMD, Nvidia, Huawei HiSilicon, and Horizon Robotics.

In response to the chip "storage wall" and performance bottleneck problems caused by the separation of computing and storage in the existing computing chip architecture, Houmo Intelligence is committed to breaking through the performance and power consumption bottlenecks of intelligent computing chips and accelerating the implementation of AI with its internationally advanced storage-computing integrated technology and storage process. The company provides high-performance, low-power, high-energy-efficiency chips and solutions that can be widely used in various large edge terminals, as well as cloud reasoning and training.

IMO Venture Capital investment partner Chen Erdong said: "After years of development, the domestic AI chip field has gradually matured, but it has also entered a bottleneck period. At present, the development of AI chips tends to be homogenized in chip architecture, and mostly adopts the method of processing unit array, which is essentially limited by the capabilities of semiconductor processes. The storage and computing integrated architecture adopted by Houmo Intelligence is a subversive system that is expected to break through the performance bottleneck and achieve a significant improvement in chip energy efficiency, making its chips more suitable for edge scenarios with high computing power requirements such as unmanned vehicles and pan-robots, as well as various cloud scenarios. We expect Houmo Intelligence to rely on subversive chip architecture and top team to break new ground and make breakthroughs, so as to help domestic chips achieve subversive changes and development."
