I don't mean to be rude, but you could have Googled and gotten a pretty rich and interesting set of results: https://www.google.com/search?q=chip+startups I'm pretty impressed with the number of AI/neural network semiconductor startups right now.

This is marketing BS if I've ever heard it. Their "instruction set" is LLVM. They're doing nothing more than what Transmeta (dynamic/programmable ISA) or Lisp/Arm-Java machines (running higher level code at a machine level) did before them.
