Scaling achieved: Vexon-1 runs as a cluster

It has been quiet around NeuroVexon for a few weeks — because we were building. Vexon-1 now runs on a second, larger FPGA development platform. And for the first time not as a single NPU core, but as a cluster: several compute tiles in parallel on one FPGA, each bit-exact against our reference model.

On top of that: a compute array twice the size per tile, our own RISC-V control core that turns new operations into firmware instead of hardware changes, and our own Linux image with our own driver stack. All five core innovations are proven in hardware through the real driver path. End to end, the NPU computes a typical matrix multiplication 4.6× faster than all four CPU cores of the same chip combined — realistically two to three times against a hand-optimised library.

Why it matters: anyone deploying or licensing edge AI hardware wants to know whether a design scales — from a small sensor to a production line. Our answer is not a promise. It is a measurement. The next step is silicon.

IN REVIEW · GITEX EUROPE 2026

1 July 2026 · Main Stage, Messe Berlin

Finalist of the Supernova Pitch Competition at GITEX Europe 2026

NeuroVexon was among the finalists of the Supernova Pitch Competition at GITEX Europe 2026 in Berlin — Europe's largest tech, startup and investment event. On 1 July 2026 we presented Vexon-1 on the Main Stage in front of an international jury and audience, placing among the Top 10 of the most promising tech startups.

At our stand H4.2-E49 we showed sovereign Edge-AI live: a complete AI stack on our own hardware, powered by our NPU design Vexon-1, developed in Germany. Countless conversations with industry, investors and partners made clear how strong the demand is for data-sovereign AI without cloud dependency.

The real win was visibility: new contacts, leads and partnerships that we are now following up. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our stand.

Vexon-1 live at the microTEC Clusterkonferenz

On 19 and 20 May 2026, NeuroVexon was present at the microTEC Clusterkonferenz. The Vexon-1 prototype ran live at the booth — the NPU block on an AMD Kria KV260 board, with our own edge-AI architecture of a RISC-V control core and a multi-tile NPU.

In many conversations with experts and potential partners we presented the five core innovations and the idea behind Vexon-1: sovereign AI starts at the silicon.

Talk: Sovereign AI right at the sensor — IT & AI Forum Ortenau

Serkan Bicen speaks in the start-up slot of the IT & AI Forum Ortenau (Offenburg University / microTEC Südwest) about edge AI right at the sensor: why kilohertz data rates force local processing and what an in-house NPU design has to deliver for it. Venue and registration details to follow.

TinyLlama runs — TRL 5 reached

For the first time, a real language model (TinyLlama-1.1B) generates tokens with the Vexon NPU in the data path — the FPGA as a correctness proof. Technology readiness level TRL 5 is confirmed, with a clear path to TRL 6 (Q3/2026).

Vexon Light: bit-exact data path & reintegration

The DMA data path runs bit-exact (256/256); the compute results match the reference bit-for-bit. Four of the five core innovations are reintegrated with the data path in a single bitstream — timing signoff at 100 MHz, reboot-persistent on the Kria KV260.
