Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Axelera AI is a high-potential Series A startup developing cutting-edge AI hardware (Metis AIPU) and in-memory computing solutions. The project demonstrates exceptional Real-World Utility and Innovation in the edge computing sector, validated by substantial funding ($68M+) and partnerships. However, the submission itself was of low quality, containing inaccurate claims ('most people have used my product') and sparse data. The 'construction' tag, initially appearing erroneous, validly refers to their target market for PPE detection and safety compliance. The score reflects the high intrinsic value of the verified entity, penalized for the poor quality of the submission data.
