## Overview
39+
40+
The Applied Brain Research TSP1 is a groundbreaking time-series neural network accelerator designed to bring advanced AI capabilities to battery-powered edge devices. The chip enables natural voice interfaces, biosignal classification, and other sensor signal processing applications with unprecedented power efficiency. Based on ABR's patented state-space model processing technology, including the Legendre Memory Unit (LMU), the TSP1 represents a paradigm shift in how time-series data is processed at the edge.
41+
42+
The TSP1 was publicly demonstrated in September 2025 as the world's first self-contained single-chip solution for full vocabulary automatic speech recognition, showcasing both English and Mandarin implementations. The chip delivers 100x lower power consumption compared to edge GPU solutions while supporting AI models 10-100x larger than other low-power edge AI hardware.
