Seer Labs develops Edge AI hardware and software architectures for plasma confinement, providing real-time, low-latency disruption prediction and control systems for fusion reactors.
Seer Labs specializes in developing Edge AI solutions specifically designed for plasma confinement in fusion reactors. The company transforms complex plasma dynamics into efficient inference engines, compressing ONNX models to run on industrial microcontrollers. By removing reliance on cloud computing and traditional operating systems, their architecture achieves near-zero latency, enabling disruption prediction with 300 ms warning times. This technology has been validated using real-world MAST M9 datasets and is designed to operate under the strict hardware constraints typical of tokamak environments.
The company focuses on providing bespoke, embedded hardware-software systems to support both national research facilities and private companies advancing magnetic confinement. Their primary objective is to move beyond passive disruption prediction toward active, closed-loop plasma control. Seer Labs offers a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) development kit for potential users to verify their baseline architecture and latency performance on their own testbenches. By delivering plug-and-play hardware tailored to specific diagnostic sensors and data acquisition systems, they aim to provide the foundational infrastructure required to sustain stable plasma in commercial fusion reactors.
