    “MYTHIC M1 ``` ## The chip that started a new chapter in computing. Mythic's first Analog Processing Unit (APU) delivers 25 TOPS of AI inference at a fraction of the power of conventional chips.”

    Mythic · Supports System

    “Mead is Mythic's most ambitious product yet—a 3D NAND-based LLM platform that puts the equivalent of ChatGPT 3 (175B parameters) in a chip the size of a fingernail, at sub-1W power consumption and a fraction of the cost of conventional LLM inference hardware. Inspired by Carver Mead's belief that analog computing should be thousands of times more efficient than digital, Mead is the realization of that vision, bringing 100B+ parameter LLMs to consumer electronics for the first time.”

    “Project Starlight was designed to address this. By integrating Mythic's APU into the image sensor using hybrid bonded wafers, low-light correction runs as a neural network at the source, at under 500mW, before the data ever leaves the sensor.”

    Mythic · Supports System

    “Mythic Vanguard. Vanguard is Mythic's next-generation Analog Processing Unit (APU), available in 2027. It takes everything proven in the Mythic M1 and scales it to LLMs, computer vision, and enterprise AI workloads through a new hybrid architecture that combines an analog die and a digital die into a single unified platform.”
