AI inference chips and full-stack systems built on NPUs
Rebellions designs NPU-based AI inference hardware with a software stack supporting PyTorch, aimed at enterprise and sovereign AI deployments. Its stack is heavy on server-management and interconnect tech (IPMI, Redfish, RDMA, InfiniBand, NCCL), and it is adopting Embedded Linux, Yocto and PREEMPT_RT, which points to a firmware migration off RTOS as it moves from chips toward rack-scale systems. Hiring skews toward senior engineering, with a smaller sales push.
Rebellions is a privately held semiconductor company headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, founded in 2020. It builds chips and systems purpose-built for AI inference, with a chiplet architecture and a software stack that natively supports PyTorch and vLLM. Its customers include enterprises and government bodies seeking to own and operate their own AI infrastructure. The company employs between 201 and 500 people, with engineering spanning chip design, compilers, firmware and device drivers.
Rebellions uses Python, C++, PyTorch, TensorFlow, RISC-V and ARM Cortex-A, plus IPMI, Redfish, RDMA, InfiniBand and NCCL, with Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring. It is adopting Embedded Linux, Yocto and PREEMPT_RT.
Current work includes an OpenBMC-based platform management stack, die-to-die and high-speed interconnects, command processor firmware, Linux device drivers for its NPUs, and silicon bring-up and post-silicon debugging.
