Ambarella, Inc. — Cyborg Score 8/10

Strong
Semiconductor - Edge AI/Vision Processing

Strategic Profile

About 80% of fiscal 2026 revenue is HAI (hardware-accelerated inference), all of which is also defined as physical AI. The company is accelerating edge AI for drones by expanding its CVflow AI SoC family, emphasizing high-quality imaging, low-power AI inference and on-device autonomy. Ambarella launched the Developer Zone to give system integrators, module builders and ISVs access to validated models, learning resources and low-code/no-code agentic blueprints to help partners prototype and deploy solutions faster.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Fiscal 2026 revenue reached $390.7M, up 37.2% year-over-year, significantly outpacing semiconductor industry growth. HAI revenue grew 50% year-over-year and comprises 80% of total revenue. The company achieved production shipments in robotics/drones with first warehouse automation design win at a major U.S. e-commerce company.
