Hopefully Adafruit or someone could get these[1] out of "Contact Us" jail. 16GB 30TOPS BF16 in M.2 2280 at $369. PCIe 2x8 low profile "Duo" configuration available at $799. Supposedly. I believe the theoretical performance is Strix territory if these could be clustered, but only if they mass manufacture these.

Heh, interesting you call this "Contact Us Jail". I met sales and engineering staff from EdgeCortix at DSEI Japan 2025, and was very enthusiastic to pick up some of their products as alternatives to the Hailo-8L RPi cards.

So far....nothing. Not even an ETA on when they will be shipping hardware.

DSEI! I wish I had some official reasons that I'd be obligated to go and have fun in events like that :p

My fear is that they could be in endemic Japanese death spiral disease of hand-wavingly waiting for massive orders while not doing much to secure one.

There are so many cool stuffs and perfect plans from Japanese large companies and government agencies that are pushed forward up to one step before volume production or commercial rollout and then stalled until funding dries up and everyone moves on. Which, if I were to explain by speculating, might be due to people prioritizing own job security over corporate revenues, due to low psychological safety and perceived invincibility of large organizations, as one among many consequences of employment ice age phenomenon.

But whatever the mechanism is, it'll be sad if this one follows that path. Hopefully they make and ship them in substantial numbers. That should be their goal anyway.
