Santa Clara, California and Munich, Germany, November 12, 2026.
Ambient Scientific, the fabless semiconductor company behind the A-Cube™ AI-native compute architecture, and CELUS, an industry leader in cloud-based electronics design automation, today announced a partnership to bring Ambient Scientific's AI-native processors, starting with the GPX10 Pro system-on-chip, to the CELUS Design Platform.
Under the partnership, Ambient Scientific devices will be represented as CUBOs, the platform's reusable, application-ready design content. Engineers will be able to add always-on AI to a design while they define the system architecture, check it against the sensors and supply rails of the rest of the board, and move from product requirements to reference schematics and bills of materials.
Edge AI sets the power budget
Wearables, hearables and smart sensors increasingly run inference continuously: keyword spotting, fall detection, gesture recognition, vibration analysis. On a conventional 32-bit microcontroller, or a microcontroller paired with a separate neural accelerator, that workload drives the battery size, the enclosure and the number of sensors a product can support. When the processor choice is made after the rest of the system is fixed, a model that does not fit the power budget means a redesign or a product that ships with reduced features.
The partnership moves that choice to the architecture stage, where it has the largest effect on battery life, cost and design risk.
Starting with the GPX10 Pro
The first device covered by the partnership is the GPX10 Pro, built on Ambient Scientific's A-Cube™ architecture, which maps matrix-multiply and activation operations onto in-memory analog compute blocks. The SoC combines:
- Ten MX8 AI cores in two power domains, with one set of five cores in an always-on block for sensor interfacing and fusion
- Up to 2,560 multiply-accumulate operations per cycle and 512 GOPS peak AI throughput
- An Arm® Cortex®-M4F core for control functions and 2 MB of on-chip SRAM
- Always-on keyword spotting below 100 µW
- An ultra-low-power ADC, enhanced I2S logic and interfaces for up to eight analog and 20 digital sensors at the same time
- Support for CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs and GRUs
As a CUBO, the GPX10 Pro will combine these specifications with application-oriented information such as interfaces, the application circuit, bill-of-materials details and implementation guidance, built from Ambient Scientific data sheets and application schematics. Engineers will see how the GPX10 Pro connects to the sensors, power stage and companion components of a real system, so they rely less on comparing data sheets alone.
"Edge AI products are decided at the architecture stage, when the processor, the sensor set and the power budget are chosen together," said Tobias Pohl, CEO of CELUS. "Our partnership with Ambient Scientific will give engineers an always-on AI processor they can place in their architecture from the start, with its sensor interfaces and supporting circuitry, and size the rest of the system around it."
"Engineers adding AI to a battery-powered product often start from a microcontroller they know and discover late that the model does not fit the power budget," said Saharsh Singhania, VP Sales & Marketing at Ambient Scientific. "Partnering with CELUS puts our AI-native processors in front of engineers at the moment they define their architecture, with the application context they need to design them in."
Meet both teams at electronica 2026
Ambient Scientific and CELUS will present the partnership at electronica 2026 in Munich, November 10 to 13, at the CELUS booth in Hall C5, Booth 558. Visitors will be able to see Ambient Scientific's GPX10 Pro development hardware alongside its representation within the CELUS Design Platform, illustrating how engineers can incorporate the processor into their hardware designs.
Expanding access for a global engineering community
The partnership will connect Ambient Scientific's processors with the more than 30,000 engineers in over 100 countries who use the CELUS Design Platform and its library of more than 560,000 components. Designs continue in the engineer's own tool through the platform's integrations with Altium Designer, KiCad, Siemens EDA and Autodesk Fusion. For Ambient Scientific, the collaboration offers a scalable way to present its AI-native processors in real application contexts, in the environment where hardware teams make architecture decisions.
