Deci achieved a record-breaking 11.8x accelerated inference speedup on Intel CPUs at MLPerf Industry Benchmark and has been named to the CBInsights top 100 AI companies. Led by a team of world-class deep learning experts, Deci lets AI developers focus on what they do best - creating innovative AI-based solutions for our world’s most complex problems.
