TL;DR - Singapore-based Acrab raised $130 million in Series B funding, bringing total funding above $480 million, as its first edge-AI chip GΞLIX 1 and Agent Box system move toward mass production. The company targets low-latency, privacy-sensitive agent workloads that increasingly run locally rather than entirely in the cloud.

  • GΞLIX 1 emphasizes heterogeneous CPU-NPU coordination, unified memory, long-context prefill, and agent orchestration—not only peak NPU performance.
  • Acrab claims 700 TOPS and 1,416 tokens/s prefill for Gemma 26B A4B under its specified long-context test; these self-reported results await independent verification.
  • Agent Box combines the chip with local models, runtime tooling, multimodal interaction, long-term memory, tool use, and agent orchestration.
  • New funding will expand production and the developer ecosystem while accelerating Acrab’s next-generation AI computing platform.
