What they build

The product

A new class of probabilistic AI accelerator — Thermodynamic Sampling Units (TSUs) — that exploit natural thermal noise and electron jitter to perform generative AI sampling at radically lower energy than GPUs. XTR-0 dev kit shipping; Z1 production chip targeted for early 2026.

Why it matters

The thesis

If TSUs work at scale, this is one of the few credible paths to break the GPU energy ceiling on inference — strategically important for U.S. AI competitiveness and energy-constrained data center buildout. Backed by frontier AI labs and government partners.
