AiM Future: Advancing NPU IP for Generative AI

Founded in 2020 as a spin-off from LG Electronics’ North America Research Lab, AiM Future specializes in neural processing unit (NPU) IP optimized for AI acceleration. Its technologies are already deployed in consumer electronics applications, including robotics and smart TVs.

At the expo, the company unveiled its next-generation GAIA (Generative AI Architecture) series, designed to deliver significant improvements in performance, power, and area (PPA) efficiency. The GAIA lineup supports a wide range of AI frameworks through its proprietary SDK, NeuroMosaic Studio, enabling rapid prototyping and deployment across diverse edge and industrial environments.

Dnotitia: Expanding Local LLM and Vector AI Infrastructure

Dnotitia introduced two flagship solutions to the North American market:

• Mnemos – An on-device LLM platform integrating the company’s proprietary foundation model (DNA) with its lightweight inference engine (Aether), enabling real-time text and code generation in offline environments. The solution is particularly suited for high-security sectors such as defense, finance, and healthcare.

• Seahorse – A cloud-based vector database SaaS platform designed for multimodal data processing and RAGOps (Retrieval-Augmented Generation Operations). Featuring a GUI-based MCP (Model Context Protocol), Seahorse allows enterprises to deploy generative AI systems rapidly without complex setup.

By launching Seahorse as Korea’s first SaaS-based vector database platform, Dnotitia is accelerating enterprise adoption of semantic search and generative AI workflows.
