How we build
Our work is technically hard and our team is small, which means you’ll own real problems end to end. We build custom compression models for sensor data in extremely difficult deployment environments.
Our belief is that compression is a foundational part of intelligence, and we want to enable it wherever data is collected and transmitted.
