Our take

With an investor list including the likes of Toyota, BMW and Continental, it’s perhaps safe to say that Recogni is already a contender in its sector. Its visual perception platform has been created specifically for autonomous vehicular use, from safety feature development to full self-driving vehicles. Using AI neural network accelerator technology utilising high-res imagery, HDR stereo sensing, and analysing data in real time.

Recogni saw an opportunity when they assessed the market of visual perception products and found that systems were either high performance platforms with a huge power drain, or low power, economical alternatives that compromised on performance. Recogni’s goal was to create a platform that is both powerful and economical.

Impressive investment in the company is being used to manufacture and market Recogni's new slate of AI chips, which are more specified than the current large language model training chips on the markets. Recogni's chips stand out because they focus on "inference" in the AI training process, allowing its models to make predictions based on new data - an integral part of the self-driving vehicle system. More efficient than current chips on the market, Recogni is well on its way to securing its seat in the autonomous vehicle development sector.
