Shrinks design cycles from months and weeks to minutes and seconds; backed by Nvidia and Applied Materials, with a Siemens partnership across aerospace, semiconductors, materials and energy.

Still to prove

As a B2B enterprise offering, public real-world reviews are limited and detailed customer case studies are yet to come — including the planned move to autonomous agentic AI.
