    "excerpt": "WILMINGTON, Mass. and PLEASANTON, Calif. , Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI ) and Alif Semiconductor today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which ADI will acquire Alif in an all-cash transaction for $1.35 billion. Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase as models move beyond interpreting words and images to understanding context and interacting with the physical world. This transition requires systems that can reason from signals such as motion, sound, vibration, radio waves, and thermodynamics, and operate locally within demanding power, latency, security, and reliability constraints. At ADI, this is called Physical Intelligence. Alif is redefining edge intelligence with a sophisticated platform of high-efficiency AI-native microcontrollers and fusion processors. Its heterogeneous architecture enables real-time sensor fusion, low-latency inference, and on-device AI, bringing advanced intelligence to demanding physical systems. Combining ADI's leadership in sensing, signal processing, power, connectivity, and application software with Alif's leading-edge digital platform will accelerate the delivery of more complete Physical Intelligence solutions. Together, ADI and Alif can address a broader range of customers' most complex system-level challenges. Commentary Alif's silicon is already shipping in...",
