About DEEPX

DEEPX is an AI semiconductor innovator delivering the world’s most efficient edge AI hardware—purpose-built to run models like Ultralytics YOLO at unmatched frames-per-second per watt (FPS/W). By redefining performance standards around real-world efficiency rather than theoretical metrics, DEEPX enables developers to achieve GPU-class accuracy with only a fraction of the power budget. DEEPX’s ultra-low-power, high-performance chips are already being validated in mass-production systems across the U.S., Korea, Taiwan, and China, powering robotics, factory automation, drones, and industrial inspection solutions. By combining YOLO-optimized efficiency with real-time adaptive intelligence, DEEPX is enabling the next era of autonomous robots, smart factories, and edge AI systems that are both powerful and sustainable.

Why choose DEEPX for Ultralytics YOLO?

Optimized for Ultralytics YOLO

Full Ultralytics YOLO support out of the box. Deploy with a single format=deepx command.

Edge-native performance

Purpose-built NPU architecture for real-world Physical AI workloads.

Real-time inference

On-device inference across all five YOLO tasks, with real-world speed and reliability.

Lower cost of ownership

A fraction of the power cost of GPUs, with none of the performance trade-offs.

Easy integration

Production-ready pipeline with zero-friction model quantization and validation.

Future-proof

Dedicated CI/CD pipeline ensures compatibility with every new Ultralytics release.

The complete solution

Build and refine your custom YOLO models on Ultralytics Platform. From Ultralytics YOLOv8 to YOLO26, access state-of-the-art architectures, curated datasets, and powerful optimization tools, all designed to get you to production faster.
