Alif Semiconductor is a Silicon Valley fabless semiconductor company building secure, ultra-low-power 32-bit microcontrollers and fusion processors for edge AI/ML. Its Ensemble, Ensemble Gen AI, and Balletto product families pair Arm Cortex-M and Cortex-A cores with dedicated Ethos-U55 neural processing units, hardware AI acceleration, wireless connectivity, and a multilayered security architecture so machine-learning and generative-AI workloads can run directly on battery-powered devices. Developer resources center on Zephyr-based SDKs, CMSIS device family packs, VS Code project templates, evaluation kits, datasheets, reference manuals, and the Conductor configuration tool rather than a hosted web API. The company is backed by Kleiner Perkins.
