Phison Rescales Local AI Inferencing with aiDAPTIV Technology

The industry is facing a growing memory constraint while demand for AI-ready platforms continues to surge. Fine-tuning and inference on proprietary data require massive compute and memory resources, creating investment challenges for organizations. These rising solution costs and workflow bottlenecks are slowing time-to-market for revenue-generating innovation. To address this challenge, Phison introduced aiDAPTIV™ technology for local and edge AI use cases. By leveraging Pascari SSDs as a new AI memory tier, aiDAPTIV technology intelligently extends and manages AI working memory across GPU memory, system RAM and flash.

Today’s announcement showcases how aiDAPTIV applies these multi-tier memory architecture principles to local AI systems as NVIDIA AI infrastructure advances GPU memory capabilities to support inference workloads in data center environments. Built on high-endurance flash optimized for sustained paging and context retention, aiDAPTIV supports memory-intensive inference and fine-tuning workloads under fixed hardware configurations. The aiDAPTIV flash-based memory tier enables organizations to support these evolving workloads on local systems while maintaining data privacy and improving long-term infrastructure efficiency.

“Conventional memory management was never designed for AI, and today’s AI infrastructure can no longer rely on generic memory management,” said Michael Wu, President and GM, Phison US. “With aiDAPTIV technology, we’ve built an AI-aware architecture that extends effective memory across multiple tiers. This enables larger models and long-context inference on local AI platforms without requiring additional GPU hardware, helping organizations keep AI workloads local while planning infrastructure investments more predictably.”

At NVIDIA GTC 2026, Phison is showcasing demonstrations of partner notebooks, workstations and systems powered by NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell processors as well as NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation Edition GPUs.

Demonstrations highlight long-context inference, agentic AI workflows leveraging KV cache reuse, and memory-intensive fine-tuning on large-scale models, showcasing how aiDAPTIV extends effective memory across GPU memory, system RAM and flash to support workloads that would otherwise exceed available system capacity.
