Ziroh Labs, a US-based AI startup, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IIT Madras), has unveiled Kompact AI, a system designed to run large AI models using CPUs ...

A new artificial intelligence platform named Kompact AI was unveiled earlier in 2025 through a collaboration between Indian startup Ziroh Labs and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT ...

Kompact AI enables models to be deployed over CPUs without sacrificing quality and at least 3x performance than the current state of the art, thereby providing GPU-like scale and speed.

Indian startup Ziroh Labs, in collaboration with researchers at IIT Madras, has designed an affordable system that it says can run large artificial intelligence (AI) models without requiring ...

Kompact AI aims to facilitate this process using less expensive central processing units (CPUs), which are widely available on consumer devices like laptops and computers.

Kompact AI can play a transformative role as it leverages multiple optimisations algorithmically and implementation-wise to execute models on the low end without any support required for external ...
