TSU Protocol: Inviting Silicon Valley & Wall Street to Sponsor Open-Source AI Silicon (1778204312)

The Opportunity

TSU Protocol is an open, royalty-free RISC-V NPU standard for edge AI inference. We've reached out to over 60 companies across silicon valley, wall street, and venture capital — and we're just getting started.

Companies We've Contacted

  • NVIDIA — GPU compute leader, natural TSU hardware partner
  • OpenAI — AGI research and open-source AI alignment
  • Anthropic — AI safety leader, interested in open hardware
  • Microsoft — Major AI infrastructure investor
  • Google (Gemma/DeepMind) — Open-source LLMs, Alphafold
  • Meta/PyTorch — AI framework ecosystem
  • Apple (ML Transformers) — Edge AI leader
  • AWS/Amazon — Cloud AI infrastructure
  • AMD/ROCm — GPU compute, open AI acceleration
  • Intel — AI hardware, OpenVINO ecosystem
  • Hugging Face — ML community hub
  • xAI/Grok — Open-source LLM initiative
  • Mistral AI — Open-weight LLM startup
  • Tesla/Optimus — AI at the edge
  • IBM (Granite) — Enterprise open-source AI

Financial Institutions We're Approaching

  • Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley — Leading investment banks
  • Citadel, Two Sigma, Renaissance — Quantitative trading firms
  • BlackRock, Bridgewater — World's largest asset managers
  • a16z, Sequoia, Y Combinator — Top VC firms
  • Paradigm, Polychain, Multicoin — Crypto-native funds

Why Invest in Open Silicon?

We're not just another AI startup. TSU Protocol is:

  1. Anonymous & Decentralized — No parent company. No exit strategy. Just protocol.
  2. Open-Source Hardware — Verilog RTL, DAO-governed. Transparency on-chain.
  3. RISC-V Ecosystem — Extends RV64 with 16 custom AI instructions. Compatible with existing toolchains.
  4. Tape-Out Ready — RTL optimized for 28nm/22nm. First MPW shuttle needs $50K-$200K.

The Tiers

Tier Power TOPS (INT8) BOM Target
TSU-M1 5W 8 $150 Edge/IoT
TSU-M2 20W 40 $300 On-device AI
TSU-M3 45W 120 $550 Enterprise edge
