About VSORA
VSORA is a French fabless semiconductor company that designs chips for AI inference, which means running trained models rather than training them. Its Jotunn8 chip is built on TSMC's 5 nm process with advanced multi-chip packaging, and the company says it targets data center workloads at lower power than GPUs. These performance claims are the company's own and are not independently benchmarked. VSORA is based in Paris and was founded in 2015 by Khaled Maalej, who earlier co-founded the mobile TV chip maker DiBcom.
VSORA was founded in 2015 and is based in Paris, France. It is listed under AI Accelerators, Edge Computing. Reported funding is $46M (Apr 2025, led by Otium with EIC Fund).

What VSORA 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.
