Context

Inference is moving into Physical AI

The shift

AI inference is expanding from server-hosted single-shot services into Physical AI's continuous control loops — sensor, inference, control. Real-time processing becomes a core requirement rather than an optimization.

The constraint

That requirement is met only by GPU-based pipelines that keep every stage, from sensor input through visualization, resident in GPU memory. Copies between stages are the bottleneck.

The gap

The cross-platform counterpart of this category is still emerging. Existing GPU pipeline stacks are largely single-vendor. vAiStrata is building that counterpart.

Components

An engine, and the pipeline around it

vAi Inference Engine

Vulkan compute inference engine. The same model runs on AMD, Qualcomm, Intel, and NVIDIA GPUs using each platform's stock driver, on both Linux and Windows.

vStream GPU Pipeline

Zero-copy pipeline for multi-sensor input. Decode, preprocessing, fusion, post-processing, and rendering execute in place without round-trips through host memory.

Validation

One codebase across desktop and edge

The same build runs on a discrete desktop GPU and on an ARM edge SoC with heterogeneous GPU/NPU execution.
