Every chip company building AI hardware built their own proprietary software stack to go with it. None of them work together.
If you're a developer trying to get an AI feature running on a Qualcomm chip, an Apple chip, and an Intel chip, you're rewriting your code from scratch for each one. Every time something changes, you do it again. That vendor lock-in is slowing down edge AI in a significant way, and the wasted engineering effort compounds across every team hitting the same wall.
Every major platform shift in tech has been won by whoever removed the lock-in first. The abstraction layer that does that for edge AI doesn't really exist yet. Forum Ventures is looking to back the founders building it.
