About Velaura AI

Velaura AI, formerly Auradine, develops silicon IP, design technology and software for lower-power AI computing. Its Titan Core platform is designed to improve the performance per watt of mathematical operations used in AI accelerators while retaining compatibility with established semiconductor process flows.

The company addresses both hyperscale infrastructure and Physical AI. For robotics, drones and autonomous systems, Velaura supplies a compute-efficiency layer designed for tight power and thermal constraints. Velaura says the underlying technology has been deployed across more than 30 million ASICs, while its application to Physical AI remains in commercialization and partner-development stages.
