AETHER A72 rack-scale AI system

CLOUD AI SYSTEM

AETHER

A scalable cloud AI system for production workloads.

AETHER SYSTEMS

From desktop, to full rack.

Accelerators, fabric, cooling, power and the management plane are designed as one system. The models below are planning targets subject to engineering validation.
AETHER A1 desktop personal AI system concept
DESKTOP PERSONAL AI SYSTEM

AETHER A1

Bring local model prototyping, agents, tuning, and inference to the developer desktop, then move through HOLYFLOW to A8 nodes and A72 clusters.

AETHER A8 rackmount AI compute node concept
4U COMPUTE NODE

AETHER A8

A modular node for development, fine-tuning and enterprise inference, planned for up to eight NOVA accelerators with high-speed fabric and liquid-cooling readiness.

AETHER A72 rack-scale AI system concept
RACK-SCALE AI SYSTEM

AETHER A72

Compute nodes, switching, liquid distribution, telemetry and management integrated into a complete rack for scale training and production inference.

AETHER A1 / LOCAL AI

A complete AI development environment, on your desk.

A1 is planned for developers, researchers, and data scientists who need private data, local response, and always-available compute. Validate locally, then migrate through one software environment to datacenter and cloud systems.

Large unified memoryA shared-memory plan for larger models, long context, and multimodal development.
Paired systemsHigh-speed links combine two A1 systems into a larger local model laboratory.
HOLYFLOW integratedOne path from model import, optimization, and debugging to local serving and remote deployment.

COMPARE AETHER SYSTEMS

Choose the scale. Keep one foundation.

Planning parameters help teams define node, network, cooling and facility boundaries before validation.

Planning targets may change after card, network, power, cooling and facility validation.

One foundation. Three scales.

The portfolio is a continuous path from cloud systems to datacenter acceleration and edge inference—not a set of isolated devices.
01

Unified compute model

Reuse model and operator work across deployment targets.

02

Composable systems

Co-design compute, fabric, cooling, and operations around real workloads.

03

Open evolution path

Start with validation, then expand to clusters and edge fleets.

FROM IDEA TO OPERATION

A platform is more than hardware.

Every engagement connects architecture, software, validation, and production operations.

FAQ

Questions worth answering early.

Are all products generally available?+

These pages describe product direction. Availability, specifications, and schedules will be confirmed in formal product materials.

Why one architecture?+

It reduces repeated engineering when models move between deployment environments.

Can evaluation start small?+

The planned path starts with development and validation before scaling to production.
