Apex
Product overview

One AI. Every discipline.

Apex ships one product. Aether is the foundation model — trained end-to-end on simulation, instrument data and design history. It ships into engineering, semiconductors, drug discovery, autonomous labs and software on the same weights, the same runtime, the same safety story — applied to the workloads that actually matter.

One foundation model

Aether is trained on simulation rather than text. The same weights handle CFD, FEA, electromagnetics, quantum chemistry, biology and digital silicon — under one set of contracts.

Every discipline

Engineering, semiconductors, drug discovery, autonomous labs, software. Each has dedicated agents, validated benchmarks and a documented pilot pattern.

Production runtime

Long-horizon agents, deterministic memory, capability-gated tool use, eval-gated deploys. The substrate every Apex discipline runs on.

Sovereign-ready

Managed cloud, customer VPC, on-prem, or air-gapped. Same runtime, your choice of boundary.

What's new

Recent releases.

  • Model

    Aether 1.0 — general availability

    First general-availability release. Three sizes, 1M-token context, streaming rollouts, full model card published.

Disciplines

Every discipline surface.

Each discipline ships with its own agents, benchmarks, deployment templates and pilot patterns. The model underneath is the same.

Synced

                          “We expected an AI that would write Python around our existing tools. We got something that replaces them. The renewal we were dreading is the renewal we retired.”

                          — Head of CAE — global aerospace prime
                          The platform

                          The runtime under everything.

                          Long-horizon agents, deterministic memory, capability-gated tool use, eval-gated deploys. The platform is the same whether you're running a wind-tunnel campaign, a chip signoff, or a months-long active-learning loop.

                          • Long-horizon agents

                            Plans that run for hours, then days, then weeks. Deterministic memory, reversible tool calls, explicit checkpoints — so a multi-day campaign doesn't dissolve into a black-box trace.

                          • Capability gates

                            Every tool call is gated by an explicit capability the model has to request and your policy has to grant. The grant is logged. The refusal corpus is versioned alongside the model.

                          • Evals as first-class objects

                            Each agent ships with a regression suite that runs on every commit and replays historical traces. Synthetic adversarial cases run against every release. Promotion is gated on eval results, not vibes.

                          • Deterministic memory

                            An immutable per-run trace, written as you go. The same prompt and the same world produces the same plan. When something goes wrong, you can replay the exact decision the agent made.

                          • Deploy where you live

                            Managed cloud, your VPC, on-prem, or air-gapped behind a regulator's boundary. Same runtime, same evals, same audit story — different perimeter.

                          • One observability story

                            OpenTelemetry-native traces, SIEM-grade audit events, JSONL exports. Built so your security team and your scientists can read the same record.

                          Trust

                          Designed for the regulated parts of the work.

                          The same workloads that make this useful — pharma, aerospace, semiconductor, public sector — are the ones with auditors, regulators and standing data boundaries. The platform is built for that.

                          • Biosecurity

                            Dual-use refusals at the model layer, controlled-pathogen gating at the runtime, chain-of-custody on every reagent. Red-teamed against a versioned corpus.

                          • Data residency

                            Customer-VPC and on-prem deployments keep training and inference inside your boundary. Air-gapped deployments produce zero outbound traffic.

                          • Audit

                            Immutable run logs, GxP / 21 CFR Part 11 / ALCOA+ patterns where the regulation applies. Exportable as OpenTelemetry, SIEM events or JSONL.

                          • Provenance

                            Every output is signed by the model version that produced it. Promotion through eval gates is recorded; old versions are reproducible by hash.

                          A day in the life

                          Six things the platform does in practice.

                          The day-to-day shape of the work the platform supports — across every discipline.

                          1. 01

                            Design

                            Generative chemistry, structural optimisation, RTL design-space exploration, antibody libraries.

                          2. 02

                            Simulate

                            Forward-in-time trajectories across fluid, structural, EM, molecular, quantum and digital systems.

                          3. 03

                            Validate

                            Compare against measured experimental data. Reproducible benchmark cases ship with the platform.

                          4. 04

                            Decide

                            Active-learning agents pick the next experiment; capability gating audits every tool call.

                          5. 05

                            Execute

                            Drive instruments — liquid handlers, plate readers, foundry hand-off — under your policy.

                          6. 06

                            Audit

                            Immutable trace per decision; export as OpenTelemetry, SIEM events or JSONL.

                          How teams roll it out

                          From scope to production in one quarter.

                          We pilot first. If we aren't better on the metric you picked by the end of the quarter, we say so and the rest of the quarter is on us. Most pilots promote.

                          1. 01Weeks 0–2

                            Scope

                            Pick one workload — the renewal you'd rather not sign, the campaign you've been putting off, the chip block you keep postponing. We agree the comparison data, the boundary, and the success metric.

                          2. 02Weeks 2–8

                            Pilot

                            We stand up Aether in your deployment of choice, integrate the data we agreed on, and run the workload alongside your incumbent. You see every trace.

                          3. 03Weeks 8–12

                            Comparison

                            We co-author the comparison memo. If we're not better on the metric you picked, we say so and you keep the platform for free for the rest of the quarter.

                          4. 04Quarter 2+

                            Production

                            Production deploy with eval-gated promotion, on-call coverage, change-management aligned to your release calendar.

                          How Aether ships

                          One product, every discipline surface.

                          Aether is the product. Below is how the same model shows up — first as horizontal capabilities, then per industry. Same weights, same runtime, same safety story; different workloads, different agents, different pilot patterns.

                          Platform
                          By capability
                          By industry

                          One model. Pilots in production.

                          Start with one workload — the renewal you'd rather not sign, the campaign you've been putting off. We'll come back with a scoped pilot.
