The Open Machine is a deep-tech AI company pioneering the next generation of on-device intelligence.

Open Machine is a deep-tech AI company pioneering the next generation of on-device intelligence. The company has developed a new class of generative AI architecture that fundamentally redesigns the Transformer from first principles. This novel geometry delivers a proven 10x improvement in parameter efficiency by eliminating the structural waste found in standard models. A"Correct by Construction" paradigm, using brain-like reconstruction to achieve its efficiency without lossy "tricks" like quantization. This enables giga-parameter models to run at full FP16/FP32 precision on commodity CPUs, not just GPUs. The company has also solved the memory bottleneck of long-context AI with a proprietary "no KV cache" attention mechanism. This unique system provides "infinite" context windows with a near-zero memory footprint, making retrieval-based hacks obsolete. The platform is complemented by a native, on-device fine-tuning SDK for the rapid creation of private, specialist models. The Open Machine's mission is to build the "AI Operating System" for the next era of computing, mirroring the efficiency of natural intelligence. The technology is post-R&D, has been validated with SOTA-level benchmarks, and is now ready for strategic partnership.
