The Problem

AI teams are being pushed beyond general GPU deployment into custom ASICs, NPUs, wafer-scale systems, neuromorphic chips, and edge accelerators. The practical bottleneck is not model training but making real workloads run reliably on new hardware with acceptable latency, throughput, power draw, and software integration. Many buyers lack the compiler, runtime, embedded, and systems performance expertise needed to evaluate or ship on these platforms.

Potential Solution

Offer a fixed-scope porting and benchmark service for teams evaluating or adopting AI accelerator hardware. The first deliverable is an optimized inference package, benchmark report, and deployment recommendation for one model on one target accelerator. Over time, the service can productize repeatable benchmarking harnesses, reference pipelines, and accelerator-specific optimization playbooks.

Why Now?

AI hardware hiring is expanding across custom silicon, edge NPUs, inference supercomputers, and neuromorphic platforms. As more accelerator options reach customers, buyers need independent hands-on help proving which hardware actually works for their workload.
