aiMotive Launches aiWare5 Automotive NPU for Scalable AI Workloads

May 15, 2026
aiMotive has released aiWare5, its latest automotive neural processing unit IP, offering enhanced scalability, safety compliance, and support for advanced AI workloads including large language models and vision transformers.

aiMotive has launched aiWare5, its newest automotive neural processing unit (NPU) IP, now available for general licensing. The release was announced in a press release following a soft launch at CES and an expanded partnership with Socionext aimed at serving Tier 1 suppliers and automakers.

aiWare5 builds on the previous aiWare4 design and maintains the same power efficiency while increasing throughput for higher performance automotive systems. It includes support for AI workloads such as large language models, vision transformers, and state space models, as well as dynamic FP8 scaling. The architecture is ISO 26262 ASIL B certified and developed as a Safety Element out of Context, simplifying integration into safety-critical systems.

The new release also includes updated development tools. The GPU optimized aiWare emulator enables faster than real time modeling before silicon availability, while aiWare Studio provides neural network optimization and performance estimation within five percent of final hardware results. These tools help reduce development time for automotive system designers preparing next generation vehicle compute platforms.
