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
  • forward_backward() operation for computing loss and accumulating gradients
  • optim_step() for updating the adapter
  • sample() for generating from current or saved policy
  • save_state() to save and resume training state
  • Tinker API compatibility
  • Separate trainer and sampler resources
  • Synchronous and asynchronous RL patterns
  • Frozen base model weights with LoRA adapter updates
  • Support for open models from Qwen, Google, DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, NVIDIA, and Z.ai
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
  • Managed training and sampling infrastructure, no setup required
  • Tinker-compatible API for easy migration
  • Ready-made SFT and RL recipes through Loops cookbook
  • Support for vision-language models
