Korean AI chip company DEEPX exhibited its mass-produced DX-M1 at Japan IT Week 2026 in Tokyo, advancing edge AI adoption and Korea\u2013Japan industrial cooperation.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korean AI semiconductor company DEEPX has successfully participated in Japan IT Week 2026, held at Tokyo Big Sight from April 8\u201310, further cementing its expansion into one of Asia’s most strategically important technology markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working alongside key local partners, the company showcased its commercially mass-produced\u00a0DX-M1 chip an ultra-low-power, high-performance AI accelerator designed specifically for on-device, edge AI applications. As a result, the exhibition marked a significant step in DEEPX’s drive to establish a robust Physical AI ecosystem in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan is currently experiencing a rapid surge in demand for embedded IoT and Physical AI technologies, particularly for autonomous robotics and smart manufacturing. Moreover, a well-documented demographic challenge the country’s working-age population is forecast to shrink by roughly 20% from 2020 levels by 2040, according to the Recruit Works Institute has made AI-powered automation not merely an efficiency upgrade, but an economic necessity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet this demand, DEEPX is positioning its\u00a0DX-M1\u00a0product line as a direct solution: a chip that delivers real-time AI inference at a fraction of the power consumed by conventional GPU-based systems. Specifically, the DX-M1 outperforms 40W GPGPUs by 240% while consuming only 5W, a 20\u00d7 efficiency improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than exhibiting alone, DEEPX structured its Japan IT Week presence as a partner ecosystem demonstration. Two local companies were notably involved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MSI\u00a0showcased an AI Box for parking management systems, powered by the DX-M1 M.2 module, a product that had previously attracted significant attention at Computex Taiwan. Meanwhile,\u00a0Sanshin\u00a0demonstrated Edge AI and IoT cameras using DEEPX’s technology at the SORACOM booth. Together, these partner demonstrations illustrated how the DX-M1 is already translating from chip-level innovation into real-world commercial deployments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the exhibition itself, DEEPX is actively visiting the headquarters of leading global manufacturers in Japan to pitch its edge AI solutions directly to decision-makers. This hands-on approach reflects the company’s broader ambition to make its DX-M1 the standard on-device AI inference chip for embedded developers across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, CEO\u00a0Lokwon Kim\u00a0has been instrumental in building the bilateral foundation for this expansion. Since 2024, he has served as a member of the\u00a0KITA (Korea International Trade Association) Korea\u2013Japan Exchange Special Committee, actively fostering industrial cooperation between the two countries ahead of what he describes as “the upcoming AI era.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our participation in Japan IT Week and the proactive efforts of our partners have proven DEEPX’s strong competitiveness in Japan’s telecommunications and manufacturing sectors. We will actively expand the adoption of our edge AI solutions across Japan through close collaboration with key local trading partners and KITA initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, DEEPX plans to introduce its next-generation chip the\u00a0DX-M2\u00a0in the second half of 2026. Based on a 2nm process node, the DX-M2 is designed to run Large Language Models (LLMs) of up to 100 billion parameters at under 5 watts, effectively bringing generative AI inference to battery-powered edge devices for the first time. Consequently, the chip is expected to widen DEEPX’s technological lead further as competition in the edge AI semiconductor space intensifies.

Japan IT Week follows a period of accelerating commercial traction for DEEPX globally. The company has secured 27 commercial purchase orders across eight countries within seven months of beginning mass production of the DX-M1, a pace that industry observers have described as highly unusual for an early-stage fabless semiconductor company. Orders span robotics, smart factories, edge AI servers, industrial AI, surveillance, and smart city applications across Asia, North America, and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, at CES 2026, DEEPX received Innovation Awards in both the Computer Hardware and Embedded Technology categories, while partner Sixfab’s ALPON X5 powered by the DX-M1 earned CES’s highest honour, the Best of Innovation Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As diplomatic tailwinds between Seoul and Tokyo continue to support Korean technology exports to Japan, DEEPX’s Japan IT Week participation positions the company at the forefront of what is shaping up to be one of the most consequential AI infrastructure partnerships in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
