As AI workloads explode, so does energy consumption. Running today’s largest models requires more power than some data centers can supply—pushing hardware teams to rethink the silicon itself.

Enter VoltLogic, a startup designing ultra-low power processors optimized for edge AI and sensor-based computing. Their chips aren’t built for giant language models—they’re made for drones, robotics, wearables, and low-bandwidth smart devices where energy and latency are make-or-break factors.

VoltLogic’s custom architecture allows for on-device inference with minimal power draw—enabling real-time processing in environments where constant connectivity or cloud access isn’t feasible. Their early clients include agtech, security, and medical device companies looking to process data where it's collected, not halfway across the world.

The company is part of a new class of hardware innovators betting that the AI future won’t be cloud-only—it’ll be distributed, local, and vastly more power-aware.
