What's the domain or ticker name? I find only Kandou AI, so not the
"bus" variant...


Good catch.

AI Overview:

Kandou Bus S.A. (often operating as Kandou AI) is a fabless semiconductor company
that specializes in high-speed, energy-efficient chip-to-chip links and
connectivity solutions.

From some chip news:

Started in 2011 at EPFL as Kandou Bus, Kandou AI is a semiconductor design
company dedicated to advancing high-speed, longer reach, low power connectivity
solutions.

On their Linkedin page:

Kandou is becoming Kandou AI. Our new strategy is focused exclusively on our
goal of democratizing artificial intelligence – making it readily available and
affordable.

Looks like they renamed themselves about a year ago.
