Mythic is a startup currently located in Austin (United States) that has made headlines worldwide after the presentation of a new and small chip, specifically the size of a button, which, thanks to custom software, promises to bring various types of artificial intelligence, such as artificial vision, voice control ... to any electronic device without it having to use a data connection to function.
A clear example of what this new platform devised and developed by Mythic allows is, for example, in the number of times that, without having an internet connection, for reasons beyond your reach, such as a server not operating or other problems, You tried to use a virtual assistant and you couldn't. Thanks to this new chip, the devices you use will be able to integrate all kinds of artificial intelligence locally without having to access the cloud to be able to enjoy them.
Thanks to its new chip, Mythic has managed to raise $ 9,3 million in venture funds.
In the words of Steven Jurvetson, CEO of venture investment firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson:
What Mythic has developed is a deep learning chip or a neural network that implements learning algorithms at a price, size and power consumption radically lower than anything we have today.
Such has been the revolution of this idea and its presentation that during the last round of financing carried out by those responsible for Mythic, the not inconsiderable figure of 9,3 million. At the moment the company intends to start bringing its technology to the main car manufacturers that are working on the development of autonomous cars although, as they themselves indicate, it is more than likely that its chip will reach the market sooner within drones or robotics for companies.
