One Binary. Every Platform.

A single universal kernel with hardware-accelerated modules. Drop the binary, run it, and the coupling intelligence engine auto-configures for your hardware. No dependencies. No runtime. No containers required.

Downloads available at launch. Request early access for pre-release builds.

Hardware Acceleration Modules

The kernel auto-detects available hardware and loads the appropriate acceleration modules. Modules are signed, verified, and hot-swappable — no restart needed for module updates.

GPU
CUDA
NVIDIA GPU acceleration for coupling matrix evaluation, vector distance computation, and batch processing. Requires CUDA toolkit. Supports RTX 20/30/40/50 series, A100, H100, and all compute-capable NVIDIA GPUs.
GPU
Vulkan
Cross-platform GPU compute via Vulkan. Works on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs. WGSL compute shaders for coupling evaluation, normalization, and distance computation. No vendor lock-in.
GPU
Metal
Apple Silicon GPU acceleration via Metal. Optimized for M-series unified memory architecture. Shared memory between CPU and GPU eliminates data transfer overhead for coupling evaluation.
AI
NPU / Neural Engine
Neural processing unit acceleration for inference workloads. Supports Apple Neural Engine (ANE), Intel NPU, Qualcomm Hexagon DSP, and Google Edge TPU. Power-efficient AI inference for edge devices.
Filesystem
Virtual Filesystem
Platform-native virtual filesystem integration. ProjFS on Windows, FUSE on Linux, macFUSE on macOS. Database entities appear as files in your filesystem — open, read, and write with any tool.
Protocol
gRPC & GraphQL
Optional protocol modules for gRPC (Protocol Buffers) and GraphQL query interface. Loaded as modules — not compiled into the kernel. Available when needed, zero overhead when not.
Network
P2P Federation
Peer-to-peer federation module for decentralized mesh networking. NAT traversal, hole punching, and direct peer connections. Loaded when cluster mode is enabled. Not needed for single-node deployments.
Quantum
Quantum Backends
Quantum computing integration for optimization verification. Connects to IBM Quantum, Origin Quantum Cloud, and D-Wave for cross-platform quantum validation of coupling matrix ground states. Module loaded on demand.

Installation

One file. No dependencies. No runtime. No containers required.

Standard Install
Drop and run
  1. Place the binary anywhere on your system
  2. Run it — the first-boot wizard opens in your browser
  3. Configure storage path, network settings, and identity
  4. The kernel auto-detects hardware and pulls acceleration modules
  5. Start ingesting data immediately

No package manager, no dependency chain, no apt/brew/choco needed. Just the binary.

Embedded Install
Flash to device
  1. Flash the binary directly to the device's storage
  2. Configure via node.toml (text file, minimal settings)
  3. Device boots directly into the coupling engine
  4. Connects to seed nodes for network discovery
  5. Pulls modules and starts contributing to the network

For IoT gateways, edge devices, and embedded deployments. Headless mode with CLI management.

Updates

After initial install, the network handles everything. You never manually update again.

OTA
Over-the-air updates
New versions propagate through the network's gossip protocol. Every node receives updates automatically. Post-quantum signature verification (ML-DSA-65) ensures only authentic binaries are installed. Atomic swap prevents corruption.
Modules
Hot-swappable modules
Acceleration modules update independently of the kernel. A new GPU module deploys without restarting the engine. Module manifests track compatibility — the kernel only loads modules that match its version.
Rollback
Automatic rollback
If a new version causes issues, the kernel automatically rolls back to the previous version. The .bak binary is preserved during every update. Rollback is instant and lossless.

AI Agent Integration

Built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for direct integration with AI agents.

MCP Server
30+ tools across 6 categories
The MCP server exposes every VectorScaleDB capability as a tool that AI agents can discover and use. Ingest, query, analyze, explore — all available via the stdio transport protocol. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and any MCP-compatible agent.
Three Modes
Client, Standalone, Network
  • Client: Proxy to a running VectorScaleDB instance
  • Standalone: Embedded engine with local storage
  • Network: Embedded engine with federation
