Great Sky

Hardware to enable intelligence at the boundaries of physics. A novel architecture unlocked by combining photonics, superconductors, and semiconductors.

[Great Sky @GreatSkyAI]

Great Sky has been selected for Phase I of the Genesis Mission. Our project with @BrookhavenLab will scale our superconducting neural networks toward real-time fusion diagnostics – hardware built for the physics of the problem, not faster versions of what exists.

Renewed investor anxiety over AI capex isn't really about the dollar figures, it's a symptom of the underlying problem. Today's AI hardware demands massive, continuous spending because it's fundamentally mismatched to the task. That's the problem we're solving at Great Sky.

Microsoft, Meta and Amazon face renewed investor anxiety over debt-fueled AI spending after Alphabet boosted its capex forecast by up to $15 billion https://t.co/JGidChA9qU

Most of the AI industry is trying to make intelligence work better on today's computing hardware.

We think that's the wrong question. The more consequential one: is that hardware the right foundation for intelligence at all?

🧵

[Great Sky @GreatSkyAI]

The world doesn't compute in clock cycles. An intelligent model of a dynamical world should be built from dynamical primitives — physically instantiated, not digitally simulated.

That mismatch is where we start at Great Sky.

[Great Sky @GreatSkyAI]

Grid strain isn't a data center problem, it's a hardware problem. Current AI runs on binary transistors that weren't designed for the operations intelligence actually requires. We're building superconducting hardware designed for intelligence, not adapted to it after the fact.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

New York became the first state in the nation to impose a moratorium on the construction of data centers.

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) signed an executive order pausing environmental permits for large data centers for up to a year. https://t.co/kZ9yyO3rDH

We're hiring — across engineering, hardware, and business roles.

We're rebuilding AI from first principles: new compute architectures, new fabrication processes, without an existing playbook to follow. Come help us build it.
