Tiny AI Chip Brings On‑Device Intelligence to Wearables

Everyone keeps asking when AI will get bigger. As a nanotechnoogist I’m more interested in when it gets smaller. This is a @Femto_AI chip designed to run AI directly on tiny, power-constrained devices like the hearing aids in the photo. No cloud dependency, no constant streaming of data. This matters if you’re building things like: - Wearables that need to listen or see all day without killing the battery - Assistive tech like hearing aids, where latency and privacy actually matter - Products that need intelligence on-device because the cloud just isn’t practical This is the unglamorous, deeply hard work that makes physical AI real. Small chip. Big implications. Thanks to CEO @sambfok for sharing his tech with me.
