Axelera AI Introduces New Product Naming to Reflect Embedded-to-Server AI Strategy

Updated framework aligns Axelera's product names with its scalable AI architecture, making it easier to identify products optimized for embedded, edge and server deployments

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Axelera AI, the leading provider of purpose-built AI acceleration technology, announced a new product naming framework for its AI acceleration products, bringing the entire portfolio under the Axelera master brand. Products are now identified by what they are optimized for: Axelera Embedded, Axelera Edge and Axelera Server, followed by a short number that signals silicon generation, optimization point and relative performance at a glance.

The updated naming reflects the strategy Axelera has followed from the start: building an AI architecture optimized for the constraints of embedded and edge environments, then scaling that same architecture across servers. The new naming provides a more intuitive way for customers to understand how products relate to one another while reinforcing the common architecture that connects them.

Importantly, this is a naming update rather than a product change. The new naming convention does not impact the silicon, products or software tools built on the company's Metis® architecture, which is already in-market and used by hundreds of customers.

For customers, the product descriptors identify how each product is optimized, not where it must be deployed. Customers remain free to deploy any board wherever it best solves their business problem, including, for example, using an Axelera Embedded card inside a server when it's the most efficient fit.

Axelera’s underlying architecture names, Metis, Europa® and Titania, continue to designate the company's silicon generations for developers and technical audiences, while the customer-facing Edge, Server and Embedded naming provides a clear framework for the product lineup. The Voyager® software platform is unchanged.

Full details, including the complete old-to-new name mapping and a guide to reading the new names, are available on the Axelera AI blog: https://axelera.ai/blog/same-amazing-products-updated-naming.
