Chinese researchers at Beihang University have developed the world’s first non-binary AI chip, utilizing Hybrid Stochastic Number (HSN) computing that blends binary and probabilistic logic.
This chip, mass-produced by SMIC, enhances energy efficiency and fault tolerance, addressing the power and architecture limitations of traditional binary systems.
Deployed in aviation, smart displays, and industrial systems, it supports China’s tech self-reliance and could redefine global AI hardware standards.
