Untether AI was a Canadian technology company that developed microchips and compilers for neural net processing. The patented computational memory[1][2] architecture (also known as at-memory compute [3] ) was built largely on standard silicon processes with some customization of memory cells and processing elements. The $125 million dollars raised in Series B funding in July 2021[4] led to a top MLPerf disclosure in August 2024[5][6][7] and a launch of its speedAI-240 product in October 2024.[8] The MLPerf results indicated the at-memory architecture could achieve 3X to 6X the power efficiency of competing approaches. Despite the early success, Untether AI was shut down in June 2025[9]
