Epic Semi

The next era of AI will be defined by more than compute. It will be defined by control. At the NeoCloud Summit, Chloe Jian Ma Ma, Chief Business Officer at Epic Semi, spoke with Silicon Valley Insider about the forces shaping the future of AI infrastructure, from AI execution and agentic AI to the growing need for sovereign, localized infrastructure. As AI moves from training models to executing increasingly complex workloads, the infrastructure behind it must evolve with it. Chloe shares her perspective on why sovereignty matters, what localization means for AI infrastructure, and how organizations can build greater control over the technology powering their AI future. If you want sovereignty, come talk to EPIC Semi. 🎥 Watch the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/dg8jN67H #EPICSemi #SovereignAI #AIInfrastructure #AgenticAI #AIExecution #NeoCloud #ChloeMa

As AI agents move beyond model inference into retrieval, code execution, tool calling, orchestration, and summarization, the real performance constraint can shift at every stage of the workflow. A recent study of five agentic AI workloads found that, in several tests, work outside the model accounted for more than 80% of end-to-end latency. That changes how enterprise AI infrastructure needs to be designed. Instead of optimizing only for accelerator performance, organizations need infrastructure that can efficiently handle the entire agent workflow with the right compute resources working together, keeping data and execution close. In this blog, Chloe Jian Ma, Chief Business Officer at Epic Semi, explains why agentic AI is making balanced, heterogeneous infrastructure increasingly important and how Contrail AIX is designed around this shift.

AI infrastructure is evolving rapidly and so is the strategy behind it. In the latest conversation of Xraised, Chloe Jian Ma, Chief Business Officer at Epic Semi, discusses the shift from the AI training era to the AI execution era and what this means for the future of AI infrastructure. From the rise of agentic AI and AI inference to the growing need for data, infrastructure, and operational sovereignty, Chloe explains how enterprises and nations can build AI capabilities with greater choice and control. 🎥 Watch the full conversation and share your thoughts in the comments below. https://lnkd.in/dAzKiiX3 #AI #AIInfrastructure #AgenticAI #SovereignAI #EpicSemi #AIExecution #Conversation

If you don’t control the infrastructure behind your AI, do you truly own the intelligence it creates? Who controls your data, your models, and the hardware and software powering them? In this video, Dr. Naveed Sherwani, Ph.D, CEO of Epic Semi, addresses these critical questions and shares his vision for the solution: Sovereign AI. He explores how open, flexible architectures can give nations and organizations greater ownership and control over the entire AI stack. The path to Sovereign AI starts with ownership of your data, your models, your infrastructure, and ultimately, your intelligence. ▶️ Watch the video and discover the path toward Sovereign AI.

"What does it mean to own your intelligence? At AI Infra Summit 2026, our President and CEO Naveed Sherwani, Ph.D, S.Q, H.I answered that question in four parts. An organization that owns its intelligence owns its data, its model, its hardware and its software. "Every aspect of what we see, the digital intelligence, is owned by that entity, and nothing that they have to depend on from outside in," he said. That idea is the reason Epic Semi exists. Naveed describes our mission as enabling sovereign AI in as many nations as possible. He is also clear that sovereignty is not only a national concern. The customers we serve include nations, companies and individual teams. The same question applies to the banks, hospitals, universities and national labs that already keep their data on premises. They have decided where their data lives. The next decision is whether the AI that works on that data can run inside their own walls, too. That is the work behind Contrail AIX, our platform built so intelligence can stay inside your walls, on open architecture, anywhere in the world.

Sovereign AI is about more than where your data lives. It’s about who controls the intelligence created from it. As AI becomes embedded in critical business and national infrastructure, organizations face a bigger strategic question: Who owns the data, the technology stack, and the capability that turns knowledge into intelligence? True AI sovereignty requires control across three dimensions: 🔹 Data sovereignty: Own the knowledge and protect the intelligence derived from it. 🔹 Infrastructure sovereignty: Maintain choice across compute, silicon, software, storage, networking, and suppliers. 🔹 Operational sovereignty: Build the capability to deploy, secure, operate, and evolve AI systems on your own terms. In the latest blog, Chloe Jian Ma, Chief Business Officer at Epic Semi, explores why sovereign AI is becoming increasingly important for enterprises and nations, how Contrail AIX is being developed to support greater control across the data, infrastructure, and operational stack.
