Key features
  • Compile firmware against production toolchains remotely without installation
  • Execute firmware on virtual chip instances with verdict, trace, and register state
  • Unit and integration testing on virtual hardware with coverage reports
  • Inject synthetic sensor data into running firmware
  • Query collective embedded corpus for chip-specific solutions
  • Support for Rust, C, and multiple RTOS frameworks
  • Speculative decoding for faster token generation
  • Prompt caching for context reuse
  • Real-time prompt processing while typing
  • Concurrent request batching
  • Bit-for-bit identical output verification
  • Multi-GPU and multi-backend support (CUDA, Vulkan)
  • Vision model support with image encoding
  • Mixture-of-experts model support
  • RAD-1 automatic draft token generation
  • Cross-platform support for Windows and Linux
What makes it different
  • Virtual instances of actual target chips, not generic CPU emulation, with same binary, peripherals, and interrupt timing as physical boards
  • Shared corpus that deepens with every call, allowing agents to inherit knowledge from previous runs
  • Eliminates need for physical hardware for testing, porting, and debugging
  • Single MCP endpoint exposes cross-compilation, peripheral simulation, sensor IO, and chip-specific plumbing
  • Access to licensed toolchains on demand without local installation
  • Exact deterministic inference: all default optimizations preserve bit-for-bit identical output compared to plain decoding
  • 4.5× faster performance on editing tasks on small models compared to llama.cpp
  • Verifiable reproducibility through receipt system that records all request parameters
  • Nine optimization techniques enabled by default with ability to disable each individually
  • No dependency on draft models or external selections for speculative decoding
