About

Akhetonics is building the RPU, the first Reasoning Processing Unit. Modern AI has hit a wall: reasoning, verification, and optimization workloads demand extreme single-threaded performance that today's electronic chips simply can't deliver. Our all-optical digital processor breaks that barrier through near latency-free optical memory and THz speeds, bringing unprecedented performance and energy efficiency to the hardest problems in AI, automated reasoning and operations research, built entirely on a sovereign European supply chain.
