Kneron Enables Secure, Local Enterprise Agentic AI Through OpenClaw Integration on KNEO 350

Integration Combines Real-Time NPU Inference, Private On-Prem AI, and Local Agentic Workflows for Enterprises

SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, June 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Kneron, a semiconductor company delivering real time inference through energy-efficient edge AI and advanced neural processing systems, today announced growing enterprise momentum around its integration of OpenClaw on the KNEO 350 edge AI platform, enabling organizations to deploy private, agentic AI workflows locally through high-performance NPU-powered inference.

Running OpenClaw locally on KNEO 350 allows enterprises to keep sensitive workflows, proprietary knowledge, and internal business data inside their own infrastructure rather than transmitting information through external cloud AI services. Combined with Kneron’s energy-efficient NPU architecture, organizations can achieve lower operating costs, reduced cooling requirements, improved compliance posture, and greater long-term control over enterprise AI deployment.

As enterprises confront growing AI infrastructure costs, KNEO 350 is emerging as a radically more deployment-efficient approach to enterprise inference. In internal benchmarking against Oracle H100 cloud infrastructure, KNEO 350 achieved near-H100-class decode throughput for GPT-OSS 20B workloads while operating within a significantly lower power envelope. For GPT-OSS 120B benchmarks, Oracle’s published configuration required two H100 GPUs, highlighting the growing infrastructure demands associated with large-scale GPU inference deployments. KNEO 350 was designed specifically for this next era of AI deployment: localized, energy-efficient, enterprise-scale inference built for real-world operational environments.

Unlike on premise NPU-based architectures, hybrid/cloud environments bring with them GPU-infrastructure dependencies, non-deterministic model behavior, and fragmented data, which make automation difficult, increase costs, and create significant security and compliance gaps.

KNEO 350 runs private AI services and local agent capabilities inside the enterprise. OpenClaw provides a more natural conversational entry point, allowing employees to interact with local agents through a familiar chat-style like experience, using tools and apps that feel like Slack, WhatsApp, or Line. The combined solution offers a simplified workflow that allows employees to ask, assign, search and interact in the most natural way possible.

“The industry response to KNEO 350’s integration with OpenClaw has been extremely strong,” said Dr. Albert Liu, founder and CEO of Kneron. “Our combination leverages the power of KNEO 350 and OpenClaw’s localized agentic AI apps and tools that are designed to maximize adoption, ease of operations and compliance – all while protecting the security and integrity of an organization’s existing infrastructure.” As one of the earliest pioneers in NPU technology, Kneron continues to evolve beyond inference silicon into full-stack edge AI infrastructure, and KNEO 350’s support for OpenClaw further reinforces our commitment to enabling private, localized, enterprise-scale AI deployment.

“Our goal is to transform the enterprise by deploying agentic AI with speed, consistency and low risk, which is why it just made sense to pair OpenClaw with KNEO 350, with its ability to support a variety of workflows and deliver NPU-powered real time inference,” added Liu.

After evaluating several AI chip solutions, Kneron’s KNEO 350 was the obvious choice for the OpenClaw project due to its agility, powerful inference engine, and its technology direction. KNEO 350 and OpenClaw together create tremendous value by reshaping the repetitive, fragmented work that enterprise teams deal with every day.

Based on the success of this collaboration, and KNEO 350’s flexibility, Kneron plans to support the deployment of other AI agent providers such as Pico-Claw or Hermas agent.
