DEEPX Shines with Dual CES 2026 Innovation Awards for AI Technology
DEEPX Celebrates Achievement at CES 2026
In a monumental unveiling during the CES 2026 event, global AI semiconductor powerhouse DEEPX, led by CEO Lokwon Kim, was distinguished with two prestigious Innovation Awards. This recognition highlights DEEPX's commitment to redefining technological benchmarks in the AI domain. Alongside this achievement, its partner Sixfab, a prominent player in the IoT and edge computing sectors, secured the coveted Best of Innovation award for their ALPON X5, which utilizes DEEPX's state-of-the-art DX-M1 semiconductor.
This achievement is not just a testament to DEEPX’s innovation but also signifies a growing partnership ecosystem that positions the company as a leader in 'Physical AI' technology. At CES, DEEPX's DX-M1 not only reinforced its reputation but also showcased the tangible, real-world applications of AI semiconductors which are empowering various industries.
A Legacy of Innovation
Over the past three years, DEEPX has continuously pushed the envelope of what's achievable with AI semiconductors. The journey began at CES 2024, where DEEPX made history by being recognized in three categories at once, a feat that established the DX-M1 as a game-changer in robotics and embedded technology. Fast forward to CES 2025, DEEPX captured attention from over 16,000 attendees, resulting in the Consumer Technology Association designating it a 'Must-See Company.' This streak of success further solidifies DEEPX’s influence and innovation in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
As of CES 2026, DEEPX’s solutions were honored in both the Computer Hardware and Embedded Technology categories. This recognition signifies that DEEPX's products not only meet but exceed performance metrics, paving the way for expansive AI capabilities across various industries.
The Evolution of ALPON X5
The highlight of the event was the crowning of the ALPON X5 by Sixfab, which integrates the DX-M1 semiconductor. Esteemed as a revolutionary AI gateway, the ALPON X5 is poised to be a cornerstone for advancing network infrastructure in the forthcoming AI-6G era. The ability to conduct real-time data processing directly at the edge—without relying on cloud systems—underscores its innovative capacity, promoting ultra-low latency and intelligent control in urban and industrial environments.
The CES judging panel acknowledged the ALPON X5 as a viable model for scaling AI infrastructure, eliminating the traditional reliance on cloud-based solutions—prompting a major shift towards autonomous operations across smart cities, factories, and beyond. DEEPX's DX-M1 notably enhances this product by delivering ten times greater efficiency than conventional GPUs while maintaining exceptional accuracy in AI inference.
Driving Future Collaborations
With an ambition to establish a joint reference platform in the industrial AI gateway market, DEEPX and Sixfab are cooperating closely to accelerate the adoption of sustainable, energy-efficient AI infrastructure. Their combined efforts at CES 2026 showcased the future of AI technology that is both effective and environmentally conscious.
At the event, DEEPX will not only display its award-winning products but also introduce next-generation AI semiconductors during a dedicated media briefing. CEO Lokwon Kim remarked on the significance of this recognition, emphasizing that the DX-M1's evolution into powering a partner's award-winning product illustrates the strength of the 'Physical AI' ecosystem.
In their pursuit of innovation, both DEEPX and Sixfab are determined to reshape the standards of technological efficiency and sustainability in AI applications across diverse sectors. As this collaboration continues, the future of AI infrastructure looks set to be smarter and more connected, enabling industries to leverage cutting-edge technologies effectively.
