The language and infrastructure for physical AI.
At the center is Eve: an open-source language for AI systems, services, and accelerators to coordinate through one typed, verifiable conversation. Around it, Vantar builds the data, robotics, compiler, and deployment stack physical AI needs.
Built for teams shipping physical AI — on the stack they already use
Featured · Eve
Open sourceA programming language for machines that coordinate machines.
Eve replaces separate client programs, server programs, and disconnected protocol definitions with one typed conversation graph. The compiler projects that agreement into compatible endpoint plans while preserving one inspectable identity across the data center.
One global program
The conversation is the computation.
Typed choices, streams, cancellation, and failures project into one checked local machine per role.
Authenticated data plane
Meaning survives the network.
Persistent Iroh identities and exact role/plan policy let independent servers execute the same identified Eve Wire.
Machine-authored change
Evolution stays governed.
Automerge sync runs as an authenticated Eve conversation, then passes through conflict, validation, and promotion gates.

Coldstack
Design partnersRobot data belongs on object storage.
Fleets generate 0.5–2 TB per robot per day. Coldstack keeps your raw MCAP in your own S3 bucket, builds a compact index, and answers one composable query — semantic, time-series, and metadata together. The retrieval layer for robot data.
import coldstack
ns = coldstack.Client(api_key=...).namespace("fleet-a")
results = ns.query(
text="gripper slipping on transparent object", # visual semantic
signal="torque_z > 5 for 2s and velocity < 0.1", # time-series pattern
filter={"robot_id": ["r-204", "r-207"]}, # metadata

Why Vantar
The tooling hasn't kept up. We're fixing that, layer by layer.
Robot data has no retrieval layer
Fleets generate 0.5–2 TB per robot per day. ~99.9% is never read again, but the failures and edge cases that matter need fast search across the entire corpus. Hot storage is ruinous, Glacier is unsearchable. Coldstack makes petabyte-scale robot logs searchable on object storage.
Robotics tooling is broken
Robotics developers spend 40–50% of their time on environment setup, dependency management, and build-system wrestling. Torq replaces the fragmented toolchain with one CLI — init, build, sim, deploy.
Neuromorphic has no DevTools
27+ SNN frameworks exist for simulation and training. Almost none exist for experiment tracking on neuromorphic hardware. Nuro fills the gap — record, track, visualize, and deploy across any chip.
Distributed AI has no shared language
Models, tools, memory, accelerators, and services are still stitched together with separate APIs and deployment files. Eve starts from one typed conversation and compiles compatible endpoint plans for every participant.

Research · v0.1The language servers speak to think together.
Eve begins with one typed conversation instead of separate client and server programs. Its compiler projects that graph into compatible endpoint plans, then preserves the same semantics across memory, TCP, authenticated QUIC, or Iroh. Automerge protects collaborative draft promotion, while Miren packages the current multi-node testbed.
