Victro looks at the software you want to run and builds hardware optimized to run it: faster, cooler, and smaller than an off-the-shelf chip. One tool takes you from your software to a finished, checked design.
What it does
No separate teams, no months of hand design. Victro does the whole journey, and proves the result before anything is ever manufactured.
Forge looks at what your program actually does: the work it repeats most, how it moves data around. It uses that as the blueprint for the chip.
It weighs the trade-offs you care about, like speed, power, size, and cost, then settles on the hardware design that fits all of them best.
Forge writes the actual hardware design automatically. It's the kind of work that normally takes a team of engineers many months.
Before anything is manufactured, Forge runs your software against the new design to confirm it behaves exactly as it should.
Take the result to a programmable chip today, or to a fully custom manufactured chip when you're ready to scale, all from the same source.
Tell Forge your limits, like a power ceiling, a size, or a cost target, and it keeps the whole design inside them, every time.
See it work
Point Forge at the software you want to run and tell it what matters. It hands back a custom hardware design, already checked.
Use cases
Run vision and AI models on a chip built just for them, at a fraction of the power a general processor would burn.
Tiny, low-power processors that carry only the logic your device actually uses, and nothing it doesn't.
Radar, audio, and radio designs shaped around your own algorithms, so they run faster and cooler.
Encryption handled by dedicated hardware, with far less surface for an attacker to reach.
Real-time control and perception on hardware sized for the job, not for a spec sheet.
When every milliwatt counts, Forge strips the design down to exactly what your product needs.
Why now
For decades, hardware was built first and software made to fit it. Four things changed that.
Data centres are capped by the electricity they can draw; phones and sensors live on a battery. Wasted chip area is wasted power, and nobody can afford it any more.
AI, vision, and signal processing demand far more than general-purpose chips were built for. Shaping the chip around the work is the only way to keep up.
Open chip designs and new manufacturing options mean a tailor-made chip no longer needs a billion-pound budget to make sense.
Throwing the heavy work at hardware and hoping the rest runs in software isn't good enough now. The split has to be deliberate, and Forge makes it automatic.
Victro is in private beta and working with its first partners. If you build edge AI, smart devices, or anything where power and size matter, let's talk.
