German semiconductor IP · Böblingen, Germany
Sovereign AI starts at the silicon.
Vexon-1 is a licensable NPU chip design from Germany: a proprietary compute architecture with a RISC-V control core that runs AI directly on the device — from sensors to language models, without the cloud. Three core mechanisms are registered as utility models; the architecture is proven in hardware on two FPGA platforms.

Four quiet weeks — because we were building
In the update video: Vexon-1 now computes as a cluster — multiple NPU tiles in parallel on one FPGA, validated against the reference model. A design that scales from sensor to production line.
Read the report →Five core mechanisms
All five measured on FPGA hardware, reproducible against the reference model.
Sparse Engine
Detects null inputs in language models and skips the multiplication. Less power, less latency, same math.
Adaptive Precision
Automatically switches precision adaptively when data allows — up to 4× more throughput per cycle.
Multi-Tile
Multiple compute units work in parallel — parallel throughput instead of sequential computation.
Hardware Attention
The Transformer core as a dedicated state machine in hardware — including softmax and zero-score filter.
On-chip KV-Cache
The language model memory lives directly on the chip instead of slow external memory. No cloud, no DRAM round-trip.
How Vexon-1 works
The video explains in one minute how Vexon-1 computes: the 16×16 compute array with 256 multiply units, the five hardware mechanisms, and the proof on FPGA.

A licensing company for sovereign Edge-AI
NeuroVexon is a licensing company: partners integrate the Vexon IP into their own chips — the business model of the established IP houses, applied to edge AI. Three usage paths, three registered utility models as the foundation.
Three ways to use it:
- 1.IP Licensing (primary)
- 2.Chip sales (secondary)
- 3.Appliance / OEM module (tertiary)
Right where the data is created.
From the field to the factory floor to the control room: AI where the data originates — with response times no cloud connection can match.
