Edge Computing Semiconductors Startups funded by Y Combinator (YC) 2026

Stellon Labs is an AI research lab that is building tiny frontier AI models that can run on edge devices like smartphones, wearables and embedded systems. Our first open source model, KittenTTS, is a super-tiny text-to-speech model, that got 8K Github stars and 45K model downloads within 2 weeks of launching.

Exla aggressively quantizes AI models to minimize memory usage and maximize inference speed. Whether you're deploying LLMs, VLMs, VLAs, or custom models, Exla reduces memory footprint by up to 80% and accelerates inference by 3–20x - all with just a few lines of code. https://cal.com/exla-ai/schedule
