Company ranks #8 in Computing category for its introduction of the world’s first intelligent compute architecture
TEL AVIV, Israel & MINNEAPOLIS: #AI--NextSilicon, a pioneer in high-performance computing (HPC) innovation, announced it has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2025. This recognition highlights the significant technological achievements of the Maverick-2 chip, the industry’s first intelligent compute architecture (ICA) that enables seamless deployment and accessibility, performance optimization, efficiency at scale, and future-proof architecture.
Introduced in October 2024, Maverick-2 represents a revolutionary shift in computing, moving beyond the limitations of traditional CPUs and GPUs. It combines intelligent, software-defined hardware with real-time optimization to deliver superior performance, efficiency, and flexibility across any workload. Maverick-2 can dynamically adapt to the specific needs of each application without requiring complex code rewrites or intensive manual optimization.
By leveraging advanced telemetry and proprietary algorithms, the Maverick-2 creates a temporary, software-defined processor on the hardware that is tailored to run each specific application. Designed for HPC, artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML), and vector databases, Maverick-2 can adapt to each application’s specific requirements, which results in up to 4x the performance-per-watt of traditional GPUs and more than 20x that of high-end CPUs. And its powerful developer tools avoid the need for application porting and vendor lock-in, while also providing a future-proof infrastructure to meet evolving workloads.
“ICA marks the beginning of a new era, where yesterday’s compute architectures no longer constrain the pace of future innovation,” said Elad Raz, Founder and CEO of NextSilicon. “Receiving this honor from Fast Company is a testament to the groundbreaking work our team has achieved with Maverick-2 in pushing the boundaries of computing.”
Alongside the World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies, Fast Company recognizes 609 organizations across 58 sectors and regions. To determine honorees, Fast Company’s editors and writers review companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world.
“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies offers both a comprehensive look at innovation today and a playbook for the future,” said Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. “This year, we recognize companies that are harnessing AI in deep and meaningful ways, brands that are turning customers into superfans by overdelivering for them, and challengers that are introducing bold ideas and vital competition to their industries. At a time when the world is rapidly shifting, these companies are charting the way forward.”
