01 — THE CONVERGENCE

Two technologies are converging.

Together they are creating an entirely new generation of AI-native devices. We believe this is the major computing platform.

01 / SILICON

Advanced silicon

On-device NPUs, direct WiFi, low-power, always-on.

02 / INTELLIGENCE

AI beyond prompts

AI is evolving toward memory, context, orchestration, and autonomous interaction — not just one-off responses.

02 — INTRODUCING LRA
LAYR REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE

From years of development to months.

The Layr Reference Architecture is a modular hardware platform built around next-generation AI silicon — designed to dramatically reduce the complexity of developing AI-native devices.

Snapdragon S7 Gen 1

On-device AI, NPU and XPAN connectivity.
02

Custom dynamic driver

Sealed chamber, tuned in-house.
03

45 mAh cell

All-day power in a sub-gram pack.
