Empowering Intelligence for Everyday Devices

About us

Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Femtosense was founded in 2018 by researchers from the Brains in Silicon Lab at Stanford University. Our technology takes inspiration from the principles of neuromorphic computing concepts of sparsity to empower intelligence in everyday devices. We pioneered a high-performance AI accelerator integrated with an end-to-end embedded AI platform, enabling low-latency operation with less energy at a fraction of the cost. From wearables and household appliances to robotics and autonomous vehicles, Femtosense brings the power of AI to everyday devices.

    AI-powered hearing aids have been making headlines, but what’s actually different this time? In a recent conversation, Sam Fok, CEO of Femtosense, explains how we’re not just seeing incremental updates—we’re at the start of a fundamental shift in hearing technology. Much like the 1990s shift to digital signal processing (DSP), today’s advancements go beyond just tweaking settings. AI is now enabling hearing devices to process sound in real time, intelligently adapting to environments in a way that was never possible before. This could be the breakthrough needed to close the adoption gap and truly revolutionize hearing experiences. 📽️ Watch the clip for a quick take, and check out the full interview for a deep dive into what’s next. 👇 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gnzgB29p #hearinghealth #audio #hearingaids #artificialintelligence #dnn Dave Kemp

    AI at the Edge Just Got 100x More Efficient – This Changes Everything! At CES 2025, we caught up with Sam Fok from Femtosense to talk about their groundbreaking SPU-001 AI chip—a processor designed to run AI on-device with ultra-low power. “Traditional AI chips drain too much power for small devices. Our SPU-001 enables real-time AI in wearables, smart home devices, and industrial automation—without relying on the cloud.” This Sparse Processing Unit (SPU) eliminates unnecessary calculations, making AI inference faster, cheaper, and more power-efficient than ever before. With evaluation kits available now, engineers can start integrating this next-gen AI hardware into their designs. Could this be the tipping point for AI at the edge? 📖 Read the full article on ipXchange: https://lnkd.in/exX_BeR5 #AIChip #CES2025 #EdgeAI #MachineLearning #SmartDevices #EmbeddedAI

    This beautiful rainbow happened today in the Bay Area. I took the picture with my Galaxy S20 smartphone, at the Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, across the street on Sneath Lane from the Femtosense offices. To avoid getting the huge cast-iron fence in the foreground of the shot, I had to hold my phone on the inside of the fence, with my arms going between the vertical bars of the fence. Don't drop your phone while doing that! The rainbow is stunning, as is the beautiful alignment of the white headstones on the well-kept green grass. You may also notice in the far distance below the rainbow the white sign on the distant hillside: SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO THE INDUSTRIAL CITY I've been serious about photography for 25 years. But I've never gotten a rainbow shot like this one. #photography
