RED Semiconductor

Company

Our vision is to enable AI to be everywhere, instantaneous, and secure

RED for Go!

For nearly five years Libre-SoC has been developing a ground-breaking Vector+RISC architecture. RED Semiconductor was founded in 2021 to deliver chips based on those innovations.

Capable of everything from embedded to high-performance computing, VISC chips are first being delivered for Edge AI to help secure devices and reduce interaction with the Cloud.

We are a startup with an urgent mission, to meet the demands of a societal shift to the AI age. AI must be everywhere. It must be secure. And it must be sustainable.

And with RED it can be.

Combining a new processor architecture and well understood CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) manufacturing means we can deliver more performance and enable higher security when it is urgently needed.

By keeping processing on-chip, we help keep it highly secure. We are already working with partners to implement advanced security software. 

Our low power design, coupled with a distributed AI model, is more sustainable, real-time, and reliable. We can remove reliance on the cloud and enable secure AI everywhere.
