NXPU is a processor that combines three types of reasoning on a single chip.
It tells you what it knows, what it inferred, and what it doesn't know.
Load domain knowledge. Ask questions. Get auditable answers with calibrated
confidence. No training required.
Intelligence is not one operation repeated at scale. It is the dynamic
orchestration of qualitatively different computation types. The NXPU
is the first processor built around that premise.

Three paradigms. Unified in silicon.
Each engine is purpose-built for a different kind of intelligence.
The Orchestrator dynamically routes computation between them
based on what each sub-problem actually needs.
Neural Mesh
Engine A — Perception
Neuromorphic spiking cores with event-driven, asynchronous computation.
Learns from single exposures via STDP. No training runs. No datasets.
Milliwatt power consumption.
Persistent reward-modulated STDP
1024 neurons, 64 input channels
100% one-shot from random connectivity
Zero catastrophic forgetting (EWC)
~50% sparsity (event-driven)
Symbolic Logic Unit
Engine B — Reasoning
Hardware-accelerated graph traversal, unification, and theorem proving.
Content-addressable memory for O(1) knowledge lookup. Reasoning chains
are inherently explainable.
Content-addressable memory (CAM)
Hardware Datalog with negation-as-failure
11,904 triples, 0.31ms queries
7x faster than Z3 SMT solver
Incremental real-time updates
Causal Simulation
Engine C — Understanding
Probabilistic cores for Bayesian inference and counterfactual reasoning.
Quantum random number generation for true Monte Carlo sampling.
Learns by experimenting, not observing.
Hardware do-calculus (Pearl)
F1=0.786 on Sachs benchmark
Beats PC, GES, NOTEARS, DAG-GNN

Same threat. Two systems. One shows its work.
Select a network scenario. See how a typical LLM responds vs. how NXPU
reasons through it step by step. Pay attention to what happens when the
system encounters something it's never seen before.

Paradigm
003
The GPU era is a local maximum.
Scaling transformers hit diminishing returns on reasoning.
The next leap requires architectural innovation, not
bigger clusters.
Current Paradigm
Trillions of tokens
Requires massive pre-collected datasets
$100M training runs
Thousands of GPU-hours per model
Frozen after training
Knowledge becomes stale immediately
Correlation, not causation
Pattern matching without understanding
Black box
No explainability, no audit trail
700W per chip
Unsustainable energy trajectory
OLD⟶NEW
NXPU Paradigm
Low-data reasoning
NM: single exposures. SLU: loaded knowledge. CSE: interventions.
Milliwatt inference
Event-driven compute on change only
Continuous adaptation
STDP learns in real-time during deployment
Causal understanding
Do-calculus discovers mechanisms, not patterns
Transparent reasoning
Every decision has a provable trace
Post-quantum secure
PQC integrated at the silicon level
Roadmap

Four phases. Each gated by measurable proof points.
We do not commit capital until the data justifies it.
Phase 0 — Complete
Software Validation
NXSim simulator. NXLang compiler with NXIR. NXRI reasoning engine.
15+ benchmarks on real data (Sachs, ARC-AGI, Z3). F1=0.786 causal discovery.
100% one-shot learning. 87% compositional reasoning. 4/4 domain generalization.
Phase 1 — 2026-2027
FPGA Prototype
SLU CAM-based Datalog on Xilinx XCZU7EV. Validate hardware speedup.
1024-neuron STDP mesh. Head-to-head benchmark against software simulation.
Target: 10x latency improvement, 100x energy improvement over Python.
Phase 2 — 2027
Architecture Refinement
Bottleneck analysis. NXLang v1.0 compiler. Photonic interconnect
simulation. Partner engagement with fab houses.
