Russian engineering has taken a significant step in the field of hardware for artificial intelligence. A resident of the SEZ "Technopolis Moscow," the company "HiTech," has developed and presented the country's first neural network accelerator for embedded systems — the LinQ HX module. This is not just another novelty, but a fully domestic device operating on a microprocessor from the official registry of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, without the use of foreign licenses.
The device was officially unveiled at the international industrial exhibition "Innoprom-2026" and has already attracted the attention of industry specialists. The key feature of the LinQ HX is its complete autonomy. The module processes data locally, without requiring an internet connection or cloud servers, which dramatically enhances information security. This is critically important for use in government and commercial systems where data leaks are unacceptable.
Technical Specifications and Potential
The specifications of the new product are impressive. The LinQ HX delivers performance of 30 trillion operations per second (TOPS), can simultaneously run up to 5 neural networks, and has a latency of 1.5 to 2.3 milliseconds. At the same time, the module's maximum power consumption does not exceed 40 W. These indicators allow its use in a wide range of fields — from intelligent video surveillance systems to the design of fully autonomous robots and medical diagnostic complexes.
Since obtaining resident status in the SEZ in 2025, the company "HiTech" has attracted nearly 800 million rubles in investments for production development. This indicates serious market interest in technological sovereignty in the field of AI. Although the LinQ HX is not yet used in urban infrastructure, its potential for round-the-clock patient health monitoring and automatic detection of abnormal situations is obvious.
Cryptalist Analyst's Opinion: The development of the LinQ HX is not just a technical success, but a strategic step. In the context of the global race for AI hardware solutions, creating a fully import-independent accelerator gives Russia a critical advantage in the areas of cybersecurity and digital sovereignty. This is exactly the type of infrastructure solution that will be in demand in the coming years, especially in the edge computing and industrial Internet of Things segments.
