- **Notable:** Surpassed a $500M valuation within two years of spinning out of Intel, Grew to 29 paying customers and $90M+ in total contract value, A8-Energy reported 96.9% accuracy vs ~71.3% for a general model on regulatory topics

## Products & services

- **ModelMesh** — Autonomous agentic reasoning engine - an 'agent of agents' that combines Bayesian systems with specialized language models to orchestrate models, verify outputs, and decide next actions across complex workflows.
- **LLM-IQ** — Model evaluation and dynamic routing system that scores and routes requests to the best-fit model for a given task.
- **A8-Semicon** — Domain-specific model family for semiconductor engineering; reported to outperform leading models 2x on Verilog code accuracy at 50-100x smaller size.
- **A8-Energy** — Domain-specific model family for the energy sector; developed with EPRI and NVIDIA for grid optimization, predictive maintenance, and equipment reliability.
- **A8-SupplyChain** — First domain-specific GenAI model family built for manufacturing and supply chain operations, reporting ~92% accuracy on industrial workflows.
- **A8-Fin** — Domain-specific model family targeting financial services use cases.
- **A8 Essential** — A GenAI product that lets enterprises rapidly explore insights from complex proprietary data to unlock value.
- **ModelMesh Dock & InterLock** — Interoperability layer announced alongside an Agent-to-Agent (A2A) partnership with Google.
