Mission

Trailblazing intelligence on the edge through disruptive innovation  boots on the ground.

Incumbent silicon was designed for the data center: power-hungry, throughput-first, single-model. Autonomy at the edge demands something different — concurrent intelligence delivered on a deterministic clock.

01The problem

Perception tells a machine what it sees. Autonomy demands it know what to do.

GPUs are optimised for throughput and assume a cloud is one hop away. TPUs accelerate a single model in a temperature- controlled rack. Generic edge AI stops at perception.

None of them were built to run a full decision loop — perception through control — under a hard latency guarantee, inside a 15-watt platform that may never touch a network.

That gap is architectural. It cannot be patched with a business model built on cloud volume.

02Tensor Compute Core

The TCC — a deterministic inference engine, owned end-to-end.

Full proprietary IP, from the instruction set to the silicon. The TCC is the core that lets a single chip reason in real time.

Hardware time contracts

Latency is enforced in silicon, not hoped for in software. Predictable, certifiable, bounded.

Concurrent model execution

Perception, fusion, reasoning and control run together — the full decision loop on one die.

Secure by construction

Tamper-resistant from the gate level up, for systems that operate in contested environments.

Modular IP cores

One architecture, many products. ASTRA and GARUDA share a common, scalable foundation.

Sub-15W envelope

Decision-grade compute within the thermal and power budget of a real edge platform.

No cloud dependency

CNNs, Transformers, RNNs and YOLO run entirely on-device. Validated end-to-end on FPGA.
