About HOUMO.AI
Houmo AI, known in China as Houmo Intelligent, designs AI chips that use compute-in-memory, in which calculations happen inside or next to the memory cells instead of moving data to a separate processor. This aims to cut power use. Its first product, the Hongtu H30, was launched in 2023 for intelligent driving and is built on a 12nm process. The company was founded in 2020 in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, and is led by chief executive Wu Qiang.
HOUMO.AI was founded in 2020 and is based in Nanjing, China. It is listed under AI Accelerators, Edge Computing. Reported funding is Strategic round of 'hundreds of millions of yuan' (2024, led by China Mobile Capital).

What HOUMO.AI 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.
