About ListenAI / 聆思科技

ListenAI (聆思科技, Anhui Lingsi Intelligent Technology) is a Hefei-based provider of AI system-on-chip products for intelligent terminals. Its approach is joint chip and algorithm design, in which algorithms define the chip from the start and hardware and software are built together into simple chips and complete solutions, delivering cost-effective single-chip products that combine leading AI algorithms with chip design.

The product line includes the Arcs series of six-in-one online and offline multi-modal AI SoCs, the Venus and VenusA series for local multi-modal interaction, the Mars series for extremely efficient offline AI, and the Vega series of Bluetooth voice SoCs. Around the chips it offers offline voice modules, a voice customisation platform for quickly building voice firmware and algorithm resources into products, the LSPlatform one-stop development platform for large-model smart hardware, the LNN neural network training and inference toolkit, and large-model vision and voice development kits such as an Arcs-Mini MCP development board for rapid prototyping.

ListenAI delivers full-stack scenario solutions that link chip, algorithm, firmware and application. Offline and online voice interaction, offline speech synthesis, Bluetooth voice, meeting noise reduction, visual tracking and smart scanning pens are core applications, used in smart home and appliances, in-car systems, education electronics such as AI scanning pens, posture and word-card devices, smart audio and video products such as tracking gimbals, conference devices and walkie-talkies, wearables and security equipment.

The company sells chips, modules, development kits and platform tools to device makers and brands in China and abroad, supported by partners and an online store and developer channels, and competes in the AIoT and edge AI chip market on integrated algorithms, low cost and fast product development.
