Applied Brain Research (ABR) has closed an oversubscribed seed funding round to commercialize its TSP1 state space accelerator chip. This silicon enables full on-device voice AI at under 30mW, delivering a 10x to 100x efficiency gain over current edge alternatives. By utilizing linear-scaling State Space Models instead of quadratic Transformers, ABR eliminates the cloud dependency and latency bottleneck for AR and robotics. This represents a systemic move toward decentralized intelligence where privacy and real-time response are built into the hardware. 🚀
