AI models,
etched into silicon.
ondie builds ASIC and FPGA chips that run models directly on-die — weights hardwired for performance no GPU can match.
Inference where it belongs — inside the die.
GPUs spend most of their energy moving weights across the memory wall. ondie removes that wall. Models and weights live on the silicon itself, delivering throughput, efficiency, and latency that off-the-shelf hardware can't reach.
On-die inference
Models execute inside the chip. No off-chip memory wall, no PCIe bottleneck.
Hardcoded weights
Weights burned into metal at fab. Zero load latency, constant throughput.
ASIC-class efficiency
Orders of magnitude fewer joules per token than GPU inference.
FPGA path today
Prototype on FPGAs now, pin-compatible ASIC tapeout next.
Deterministic latency
Fixed pipelines = predictable sub-millisecond token time.
Cloud + edge
From rack-scale to on-device, the same on-die architecture scales.
Throughput, by orders of magnitude.
On-die execution collapses the memory bottleneck. The result is deterministic, near-constant token time — and the efficiency to run the same models at a fraction of the joules.
Relative inference throughput vs. commodity GPU (higher is better).
Illustrative projection of target architecture. Tokens/ms normalized to GPU baseline.
From FPGA to metal.
A staged path: prove on FPGAs today, commit to silicon next, then hardcode weights at the fab for full performance.
