The opportunity around AI infrastructure and its rapid trajectory is undeniable. From purpose-built silicon that enables autonomous Physical AI applications to greater power efficiency in hyperscale data centers, advances in infrastructure are laying the groundwork for greater autonomy, productivity, and intelligence. That momentum is attracting investment. Our partners at Seligman Ventures have doubled their deployable capital to $1 billion, expanding their capacity to support companies tackling AI’s most pressing infrastructure challenges. Congratulations to the Seligman team on this milestone, and thank you for your continued confidence in @Velaura_AI and the future we’re building together.

80% of companies expect to use Physical AI in some capacity within the next two years, according to @Deloitte. That’s a 38% growth rate from today. Physical AI's productivity and operational potential are clear, but it brings new compute challenges that must be solved for safe, secure, widespread deployment. Building reliable, symbiotic physical AI applications starts with purpose-built silicon that delivers high performance per watt, high bandwidth, and low latency. This is key to Physical AI reaching its full potential. Check out the full report here: deloitte.com/us/en/what-we-d…

Myth: Reducing power in battery constrained Physical AI applications means sacrificing performance. Reality: Physical AI demands a different approach to compute, one designed to deliver the performance autonomous systems require within tight power and thermal constraints. But power is only one part of the challenge. Physical AI compute also needs to address latency, memory, and safety to support increasingly capable robots and drones operating in the physical world. For @Velaura_AI, that means rethinking the compute architecture itself to meet those demands together, not in isolation.

We’re excited to welcome Niken Jariwala as AI Systems Architect at @Velaura_AI. Niken brings nearly two decades of experience spanning AI accelerator architecture, SoC design, CPU architecture, RTL development, and design verification. His career includes leadership and technical roles at Persimmons AI, Analog Devices, Flex Logix Technologies, @intel, @Synopsys, and @SanDisk. Previously, he held engineering leadership roles at @ADI_News and @efpga, where he worked on AI and edge inference accelerator SoCs and IP, including hands-on architecture work for tensor processing, inference, and DSP systems. He also led the RTL & Verification team for an AI edge inference SoC through first-silicon success. Niken’s depth of experience across AI hardware, system architecture, and silicon implementation will be instrumental as we continue developing ultra-low-power technology for data center and Physical AI applications. Please join us in welcoming Niken to @Velaura_AI.

In his interview with Gemma Allen from @theCUBE x @NYSEWired, @Velaura_AI co-founder and president Sanjay Gupta highlighted how Velaura is approaching Physical AI with ultra-low-power silicon and software designed for the constraints of real-world systems. As AI moves into the physical world, robots, drones, and other autonomous systems require a new approach to compute. Power, thermals, and real-time responsiveness become increasingly important as these systems operate in dynamic environments with more intelligence running directly on-device. Watch Sanjay's full interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=tWNRdZ73… Thank you again to @GemmaAllenSays, @bjbaumann2014, @furrier, @NYSEWired, and @thecubetv & @theCUBE for the conversation.

Did you see @velaura_ai during your Bay Area commute down US-101? If not, now’s your chance. Most billboards on 101 promote bigger AI promises, but ours is doing something different. While other billboards scream for more, we’re advocating for less: less power, that is. Velaura AI is advancing ultra low power technology to improve performance per watt across AI data centers and power constrained physical AI applications. If you're driving through the Bay Area on US-101, look up (safely) and find the @velaura_ai billboard for a limited time! #NYSE #VelauraAI #Funding
