About DEEPX
DEEPX is a South Korean fabless company that designs NPUs, chips specialised for running trained AI models efficiently on local devices such as cameras, robots and appliances. Its first product, the DX-M1, is built on Samsung Foundry's 5nm process, and the next chip, the DX-M2, is planned on Samsung's 2nm process. The company was founded in December 2018 and is based in Pangyo, Seongnam, in Gyeonggi Province near Seoul, rather than in Seoul itself.
DEEPX was founded in 2018 and is based in Seongnam, Gyeonggi, South Korea. It is listed under Edge Computing, AI Accelerators. Reported funding is Series C led by SkyLake Equity Partners (2025); ~$183M total.

What DEEPX works on
Edge Computing
Edge computing means processing data close to where it is produced, on a device or a nearby server, instead of sending everything to a distant cloud data center. In chip terms, edge processors are small, low-power chips that run software and AI models inside phones, cameras, cars and sensors.
AI Accelerators
An AI accelerator is a chip, or a part of a chip, designed to run machine learning faster or with less energy than a general-purpose processor. The category includes GPUs, TPUs, neural processing units (NPUs) and chips from many startups.
