Luffy AI develops adaptive neural controllers that learn the physics of a system from first principles and adapt autonomously in real time. They use sparse, lightweight neural networks, grown not built, using algorithms that mimic nature with neuroplastic synapses that allow adaptation. An important distinction with Luffy AI’s technology is that the networks adapt in real-time and don’t learn in real-time like edge-learning networks. Luffy AI controllers learn adaptive behaviours in training and don’t change their structure when deployed, meaning that resetting a Luffy AI ANC results in the same controller and behaviour every time.

Quartermaster AI develops maritime technology designed to improve ocean awareness and vessel safety. Its hardware integrates cameras and radios and is mounted on a ship’s mast and can capture and relay real-time maritime data. This allows governments, shipping companies, and insurance providers to know far more than the current standard of AIS, or the “automatic identification system,” which is more or less just a series of location pings.

EliseAI automates administrative and operational work for housing and healthcare companies. Its platform includes AI “teammate” called Apollo that helps with tasks, runs leasing, maintenance, and renewals. EliseAI also helps automate the patient-related paperwork for specialty physician groups on the healthcare side, from the first inbound call through referrals, scheduling, insurance verification, chart prep, and follow-up, so nothing falls through the cracks

SiMa.ai is developing chips and software that allow robots, drones, cameras, and other devices to run AI directly on the device. The company provides energy-efficient chips that eliminate the need to send data back and forth to the cloud. SiMa.ai hopes that its low-latency performance and more affordable chips, compared to Nvidia’s GPUs, will help it capture the growing market for physical AI devices, including humanoid robots.

Cornelis Networks develops networking hardware and software for AI systems to help AI chips communicate more effectively. It targets the fact that much GPU time is wasted waiting for data to arrive with a networking fabric that lets chips process and send information at the same time.

Ema is an artificial intelligence software company that develops AI agents for automating enterprise workflows. It uses teams of AI agents to automate corporate processes across HR, IT, and finance. Ema first “wraps” around an enterprise’s existing applications, before customers can reduce their dependence on some of those products — and, in some cases, replace them altogether.
