Prizmal builds real-time cognitive optimization for the edge — a new class of AI runtime that lets large language models self-regulate compute, memory, and energy per token, based on the complexity of the task.
Prizmal is designing the world’s first adaptive inference engine, enabling full-scale LLM intelligence to run on mobile, embedded, XR, robotics, and mission-critical devices with:
(1) Deterministic latency within UI frame budgets
(2) Dynamic energy throttling based on semantic difficulty
(3) 2–4× faster inference with preserved reasoning depth
(4) 2.5-4x lower runtime memory usage
(5) 40–60% energy-per-token reduction. Instead of smaller models,
Prizmal delivers smarter models — capable of adjusting their own computational footprint in real time.

The FIDO Alliance is changing the nature of authentication with open standards for phishing-resistant sign-ins with passkeys that are more secure than passwords and SMS OTPs, simpler for consumers and employees to use, and easier for service providers to deploy and manage. The Alliance also provides standards for secure device onboarding to ensure the security and efficiency of connected devices operating in cloud and IoT environments.
