Award Underscores Gemini-II's Low-Power, High-Performance Edge AI Capabilities for Autonomous Decision-Making in Contested Environments

Will Provide Just Under $2.0 Million of Non-Dilutive R&D Funding

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GSI Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:GSIT), the inventor of the Associative Processing Unit (APU), a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance compute processing, providing true compute-in-memory technology, today announced it has been awarded a Phase-II U.S. Army's xTech Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to develop a ruggedized edge AI platform using the Gemini-II APU for the tactical edge.

The award is valued at approximately $2.0 million. These funds will offset the cost of designing and developing a ruggedized edge-processing platform based on the Gemini-II APU, with testing in representative operational environments intended to validate performance across real-time AI workloads, such as sensor data processing, object detection, and command-and-control analytics.
