Gate News message, April 23 — Anker Innovation, a leading global consumer electronics brand, unveiled its first neural network Compute-in-Memory (CIM) AI audio chip called Thus™ on April 22. CEO and founder Yang Meng revealed the company’s three major technology initiatives in edge AI: the Thus™ chip, edge-side large language models, and a three-phase embodied intelligence roadmap.
Yang Meng disclosed that Anker’s 2025 R&D spending reached 2.893 billion yuan, a 37.2% year-over-year increase. The company plans to maintain R&D growth significantly outpacing revenue growth in coming years, with investments in advanced fields “having virtually no upper limit.” The Thus™ chip, built on NOR Flash technology and natively supporting 4-million-parameter models, addresses the von Neumann architecture’s energy inefficiency by redirecting over 90% of previously wasted power to effective computation. In internal testing, Thus™ achieved up to 150-fold higher AI peak performance compared to traditional Bluetooth earbuds chips, enabling million-parameter model deployment on earphones.
The chip will debut in Anker’s flagship earbuds and serves as the foundation of a three-year chip technology platform. Additionally, Anker demonstrated a three-phase family robotics roadmap spanning planar movement (robotic vacuums and lawn mowers already in mass production), three-dimensional mobility (security robots currently in development), and humanoid robots (in early-stage research). According to Anker’s 2025 annual report, the company generated 30.514 billion yuan in revenue with a year-over-year growth of 23.49% and net profit of 2.545 billion yuan, up 20.37% year-over-year. Anker submitted a Hong Kong Stock Exchange main board listing application in December 2025, with management confirming normal progress.
