SANTA CLARA, CA, Aug 26, 2026 – Baya Systems is expanding into Japan, adding technical and field resources to work with Japanese semiconductor companies, foundries and technology firms building AI, HPC, automotive and chiplet-based systems. The expansion comes as Japan increases investment in advanced manufacturing and AI infrastructure. As part of the move, Baya is collaborating with Tenstorrent on a test chip currently in development that incorporates its WeaveIP fabric IP.
Baya’s system IP supports the design of chip and chiplet-based systems across those same markets, including SoC architectures.
“Japan is emerging as one of the most important centers for AI silicon innovation,” said Nandan Nayampally, chief commercial officer at Baya Systems. “AI is fundamentally changing semiconductor architecture, from spec to deployment, and as companies adopt chiplet architectures and AI-specific silicon, they need system IP that lets them scale without adding design complexity. Japan represents one of the most exciting opportunities to collaborate with industry leaders shaping the future of AI silicon, and we’re ready to support that growth.”
The test chip is intended to demonstrate software-defined data movement for AI and compute architectures. Tenstorrent is incorporating WeaveIP into its chiplet solutions, including systems built around TT-Ascalon, its RISC-V CPU, and Tensix Neo, its AI accelerator IP.
“Tenstorrent is proud to support Japan’s rapidly growing semiconductor ecosystem. Our collaboration with Baya brings together high-performance compute and scalable, software-defined data movement to address the growing demands of AI and HPC in chiplet solutions,” said Aniket Saha, vice president of product strategy at Tenstorrent.
The Japan expansion follows Baya’s earlier moves into North America, Europe and India. The company plans to grow its presence through customer engagements, partnerships and events.
