(ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), a global leader in ultra-low-power, fully digital, event-based neuromorphic AI, today announced BrainChip Sequora<sup><\/sup> Core IP, a processor IP core that runs generative AI, including large language models (LLMs), directly on battery-powered edge devices.<\/p>\n<p>The next step in BrainChip&#8217;s edge AI roadmap, Sequora builds on the strengths of the company&#8217;s Akida<sup><\/sup> platform. Its efficiency comes from model structure: a state-space design keeps memory use fixed no matter how long the data stream or conversation runs. As a result, Sequora scales from models of a few million parameters up to 3 billion. Devices that once could only recognize a signal can now understand, explain and respond  at the power levels customers expect from BrainChip.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our commercial and aerospace\/defense customers are designing AI into many of the next-generation edge systems that provide real-time processing and decision-making in congested and contested environments with minimal footprint in size, weight and power,&#8221; said Frank Ferrante, chief executive officer at ForwardEdge ASIC. &#8220;Sequora puts generative AI in a low-power IP core that fits many of the demands of the custom silicon we build. It gives us a path to add on-device intelligence to mission-critical edge ASICs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Sequora Does<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sequora removes the memory and power bottleneck that has kept generative AI out of battery-powered devices such as earbuds and sensor nodes. Paired with Akida, it brings two workloads together in one solution: Akida processes streaming sensor data  vibration, audio, radar, raw radio-frequency (RF) IQ data and biological signals  while Sequora runs generative and sequential AI, including on-device LLMs, voice-to-voice interaction and AI agents.<\/p>\n<p>Markets from consumer voice and wearables to aerospace and defense, automotive and industrial radar, industrial IoT, and medical and biomedical devices need conventional inference <em>and<\/em> generative inference in the same product.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The edge is where AI becomes useful in everyday infrastructure, from utility meters to mobility systems,&#8221; said Jay Kim, CEO of edgeAI Inc. &#8220;BrainChip saw early that efficiency would decide who wins at the edge. Now they&#8217;re applying that same thinking to generative AI, bringing language and reasoning capabilities to devices that run on a small battery.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key challenges Sequora addresses:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Generative models stall on memory bandwidth<\/li>\n<li>Per-word cost that climbs as the conversation (context window) and its cache grow<\/li>\n<li>Memory traffic caps model size on battery power<\/li>\n<li>Make run-time branching predictable for automotive, medical and avionics certification<\/li>\n<li>On-device per-query latency and privacy\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Sensing and Generative AI on One Device, One Battery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Customers are not asking for just a signal classifier or a language model, said Sean Hehir, chief executive officer, BrainChip. They want both, in the same product, on the same battery. Akida and Sequora together deliver exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>Because Sequora runs generative and sequential AI without sending data off the device, it addresses a growing market priority: keeping data and AI models sovereign while minimizing size, weight and power.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Availability<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sequora is available now as licensable semiconductor IP. Customers integrate the design into their own system-on-chip (SoC) and manufacture it at the foundry and process node of their choice. Delivered as process-portable, fully synthesizable register-transfer level (RTL) code, the Sequora package includes verification IP and testbench, synthesis scripts and timing constraints, and an SDK with a static graph compiler, a C++ runtime library and a model zoo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About BrainChip Holdings Ltd.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=xftmPKnX05p6yn7-C6I8dmYx2KpCrvBXVU9YYGRNBN2NO4HEy2w4EFez3mRfXk-DgpWqJBaczHgKl3w95H1WJg==\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BrainChip<\/a> is the worldwide leader in edge AI on-chip processing and learning.
