  "summary": "DEEPX, a neural processing unit (NPU) developer from Korea, has been honored with a CES 2027 Innovation Award in the AI category for their new artificial intelligence (AI) chip, the DX-M2. The CES Innovation Awards recognize products based on their technological capabilities, design, and innovation. The DX-M2 is an ultra-low-power generative AI chip designed to run large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) directly on robots and industrial devices. Built on Samsung Electronics' 2-nanometer foundry process, the chip consumes approximately 5 watts of power while performing generative AI inference. Unlike conventional on-device AI chips that primarily focus on image recognition and object detection, the DX-M2 is designed to enable devices to understand their surroundings and make decisions using generative AI. This new chip is expected to reduce reliance on cloud computing and expand AI applications in robots, smart devices, and industrial systems. The DX-M2 completed its mask tape-out earlier this month, marking the transfer of the finalized chip design to manufacturing.",
