Bio :

Julien Schmitt began his career as a signal processing engeineer and ASIC designer at DiBcom, a leading fabless startup in mobile TV, acquired by Parrot in 2011. He actively participated in the development of a DSP enabling spftware radio. In 2015 he co-founded VSORA offering a new generation of high-performance DSPs intended for algorithmes requiring high computing capacity as well as artificial intelligence.

Abstract :

VSORA is a French semiconductor manufacture providing very high performance AI chips used for Generative AI, autonomous driving and other hard processing taks.

Generative AI is already a huge market, with the hardware expected to reach $50B in 2024. This application requires chips with huge processing power. Focus today is training but tomorrow focus will be inference. However, this market is broken as the current solutions cannot meet the low latency ad power target requirement measured as a cost of 0.2 cents/query.
