KandouAI is an EPFL spinoff founded in 2011 that develops novel chip connectivity technologies to address the data movement bottleneck in AI systems. The company's core work centres on Chord signaling, a data transmission approach that sends groups of bits as a single mathematical unit, reducing power consumption and extending reach. This has evolved into Copper MIMO technology, which positions the firm at the forefront of solving connectivity challenges in AI hardware.
The company offers chiplet-based AI fabric solutions covering GPU connectivity, memory connectivity, network connectivity, and rack connectivity, enabling massively scalable AI systems. Its intellectual property portfolio includes over 500 patents. KandouAI's stated mission is to make AI hardware more affordable and accessible, and the company works in partnership with its customers across the AI hardware and data centre infrastructure sectors.
Technical domains of focus include chip connectivity, Chord signaling, Copper MIMO, AI hardware, and data movement.
