ZETIC.ai, an innovative company in the on-device AI conversion platform sector, has achieved the remarkable feat of being selected for 'Startup Battlefield 200,' a core program of the global startup conference 'TechCrunch Disrupt 2025.' This selection means ZETIC.ai will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with leading early-stage startups from around the world on this prestigious stage, held in San Francisco, USA, from October 27th to 29th. Startup Battlefield 200 is known as the dream competition ground for startups worldwide and has been the birthplace of global unicorn companies like Dropbox, Trello, and Discord. To date, over 1,500 startups have participated, accumulating a total of $32 billion in investment, and the winning team receives a $100,000 equity-free prize along with an unparalleled opportunity for exposure to investors and media worldwide. The 'ZETIC.ai' platform developed by ZETIC.ai offers an innovative solution to the high GPU costs and complex NPU compatibility issues faced by cloud-based AI services. When users upload an AI model, the platform automatically converts it into an optimized on-device library, enabling easy deployment across various operating systems such as Android, iOS, and Linux. Notably, it enhances versatility by fully supporting NPUs from major chipset manufacturers including Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Apple. The greatest strength of this platform is its efficiency. Developers can dramatically reduce server costs and shorten deployment times, and experience overwhelmingly superior performance, up to 60 times faster than GPUs, in an on-device environment. This is expected to be a significant turning point, increasing the accessibility of AI technology and accelerating its commercialization. Within just three months of its launch, ZETIC.ai has accumulated 200 subscribers and has quickly established itself in the market, proving its innovativeness with over 2,000 downloads of its SDK-based on-device deployment app. Furthermore, it is accelerating its global market expansion, including establishing a local office in Silicon Valley and discussing collaborations with global enterprises. Kim Yeon-seok, CEO of ZETIC.ai, stated through this selection, “We will present a new standard for on-device AI on the global stage and contribute to spreading an AI paradigm without GPU servers, enabling more developers and companies to utilize safe and efficient AI technology.” ZETIC.ai plans to further advance its on-device AI model optimization technology and expand its ecosystem by entering global developer communities and increasing partnerships. Additionally, it intends to extend SDK functionalities, develop various industrial application cases, and continue its sustainable growth by strengthening its workforce dedicated to R&D and overseas business.
