First principles
Understand the workload. Identify the limiting resource. Build from measurable constraints.
AI SYSTEMS & ARCHITECTURE
Better AI starts with the whole system.
We connect models, software, and hardware
through first-principles co-design.
Model structure, precision, and quality targets shape every decision below.
01 / ABOUT ONESTACK.AI
THE WHOLE SYSTEM MATTERSThe best AI system is designed together.
OneStack.AI is an AI systems and architecture company focused on vertical co-design: connecting model decisions to the software and silicon that execute them.
We start with the workload and its constraints. Then we work across abstraction boundaries to align model quality, latency, throughput, energy, and cost.
Understand the workload. Identify the limiting resource. Build from measurable constraints.
Connect decisions across the stack. Treat interfaces, data movement, and feedback as part of the design.
Evaluate the complete path from model quality to execution efficiency, with explicit assumptions and reproducible measurements.
02 / TECHNOLOGY
MODEL ↔ SOFTWARE ↔ HARDWAREFrom workload analysis to architecture exploration, our focus is the interaction between layers—and what it means for the system.
Explore model architectures, quantization, and sparsity in the context of the hardware that will run them.
Connect model graphs to efficient execution through operator mapping, kernel optimization, and runtime scheduling.
Reason about dataflow, memory hierarchy, and parallelism together to expose bottlenecks and compare design choices.
Translate workload requirements into accelerator concepts, FPGA prototypes, and power, performance, and area trade-offs.
03 / RESEARCH & PROJECTS
QUESTIONS WORTH BUILDING FOROur research agenda centers on practical questions at the boundaries of AI models, systems, and architecture.
Study the interaction of precision, attention, memory traffic, and batching. Evaluate quality and execution efficiency together, under clearly defined workloads and hardware constraints.
Potential artifacts: workload characterizations, evaluation methods, and optimization studies.
Explore how operator structure and data reuse shape compute arrays, memory systems, and interconnect. Make design assumptions explicit and examine sensitivity across workloads.
Potential artifacts: architecture models, design-space studies, and FPGA prototypes.
Trace model and compiler choices through to hardware utilization and end-to-end performance. Build evaluation approaches that capture the trade-offs hidden by isolated benchmarks.
Potential artifacts: measurement tools, reproducible experiments, and technical notes.
Public projects and publications will be listed here as they become available.
