About DeGirum
DeGirum makes ORCA, an accelerator chip for running trained neural networks on edge devices such as cameras and small computers, together with PySDK, a Python toolkit meant to work across different hardware. It first presented ORCA publicly in late 2021 after operating quietly. The company also runs a cloud service that lets developers test models on its hardware before buying. DeGirum was founded in 2017 and is generally listed as based in Santa Clara, California.
DeGirum was founded in 2017 and is based in Santa Clara, CA, United States. It is listed under AI Accelerators, Edge Computing, ASICs. Reported funding is $42M.

What DeGirum works on
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.
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.
ASICs
An ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit, is a chip designed to do one job or a narrow set of jobs. Its circuits are fixed when the chip is made. A CPU can run any program; an ASIC does what it was designed for and nothing else.
