Faux-moat bypassed
BNN literature (Courbariaux et al.) gives the math but no hardened sky130 primitive. Customers either rebuild from gates or pay commercial AI-accelerator IP.
Value to customer
Drop-in BNN neuron for sky130. Compose into XNOR-popcount arrays for inference-at-the-edge designs. Pairs with the Joule M5 base SoC as the accelerator block.
