We're here to make powerful AI something you own, not something you rent.
Our mission is to commoditize access to fast, powerful local models, through hardware and software co-design.
AI today is rented. The best models live in someone else's data center, and every prompt, file and agent run goes through a meter you don't control. Prices change, models get retired, limits tighten overnight, and your data leaves your hands with every question. For a technology that's becoming part of how we all think and work, that's the wrong foundation.
It doesn't have to be this way. Open models are good enough for real work, and the chips to run them exist. What's missing is hardware and software made for each other. We choose the chips, design the machine around them and tune the inference engine to that exact hardware, so open models run at full speed from the first boot, without the slow, loud machines and weekend of setup local AI is known for.
We see a future where everyone has a personal superintelligence, owned by them and trained for them. It will feel like Wi-Fi at home: you buy a device or pay monthly, and the intelligence is yours to control.
We build in the open. The inference engine is open source under Apache 2.0, and the models we optimize are free on Hugging Face. 60+ contributors have worked on the engine, and our models have been downloaded 150,000+ times.
There's still a lot to build, in hardware and in software. It's a hard mission and a hard company to build. We stay focused and measure ourselves by results over the long term, one machine and one release at a time.
