SiMa.ai, a trailblazer in Physical AI innovation, has taken a bold leap forward with three major product launches designed to scale Physical AI faster than ever. The company has officially announced the production and immediate availability of its second-generation MLSoC Modalix silicon, a new System-on-Module (SoM) with a development kit, and LLiMa, A breakthrough software framework that enables high-performance LLM and GenAI models to run directly on Modalix—bringing advanced AI capabilities to real-world Physical AI applications.
Modalix: Powering the Next Wave of Physical AI
Purpose-built to lead the Physical AI industry, Modalix delivers exceptional performance and accuracy while consuming less than 10 watts of power. ” This chip combines a flexible Arm-based design with a built-in GenAI software stack, enabling it to perceive its environment in real time, make intelligent decisions, and interact naturally through language. With support for a wide range of interfaces—like camera, Ethernet, and PCIe it’s a powerful fit for applications across robotics, automotive, industrial automation, aerospace and defense, smart vision, retail, and healthcare.

Industry leaders are taking notice. Modalix truly highlights just how much innovation Arm’s powerful and energy-efficient platform can support,” said Ami Badani, Chief Marketing Officer at Arm. “By bringing LLM and AI capabilities to the edge, SiMa.ai is helping power AI systems that are not only smarter and faster—but also greener.
Strategic Collaborations for Rapid, Reliable Production
To bring Modalix to life, SiMa.ai leveraged Synopsys’ AI-powered EDA suite and extensive IP portfolio, achieving a bug-free A0 silicon on the first attempt significantly accelerating time-to-market. Thanks to TSMC’s advanced N6 process, the chip is able to meet the demanding power, thermal, and reliability standards required for embedded deployments.

SoM and Devkit for Seamless Integration
SiMa.ai’s new Modalix SoM is pin- and form-factor compatible with leading GPU modules, offering a plug-and-play solution for rapid deployment. Partnering with Enclustra, the company has created a ready-to-use development kit that includes MIPI camera compatibility, SSD storage, cooling, and full support for top ML frameworks through SiMa.ai’s Palette software.
LLiMa: Bringing GenAI to Physical AI—Fully On-Device
LLiMa eliminates the need for cloud connectivity by enabling on-device execution of LLMs, LMMs, and VLMs. With seamless import of open-source or custom models, automated optimization, and support for MCP and RAG workflows, LLiMa allows developers to build advanced, agent-based AI systems that run entirely on Modalix hardware.
SiMa.ai CEO Krishna Rangasayee summed it up best: “The era of Physical AI is here. With Modalix now in production and strong demand for our SoM, we’re speeding up global adoption and making it easier than ever to integrate GenAI into real-world Physical AI systems.”
