Operating with Qualcomm on edge & cloud AI silicon

AI infrastructure
for the next era of media.

We design and deploy production-grade AI systems for broadcasters, media platforms, and the funds that back them — engineered on Qualcomm silicon, measured in milliseconds, accountable in audits.

01 — What we do

Six disciplines.
One operating layer for media AI.

Most AI vendors sell a model. We deliver the system around it — silicon-aware inference, content pipelines, observability, and the governance media operators actually have to defend in front of regulators and boards.

01

Edge inference on Qualcomm AI

We deploy on Cloud AI 100 and Snapdragon NPUs — lower watts, lower latency, lower bill of materials than the GPU default.

  • Cloud AI 100
  • Snapdragon
  • ONNX
02

Multimodal content pipelines

Real-time transcription, scene segmentation, rights-aware tagging, embedding indices — composed from interchangeable model blocks.

  • ASR
  • VLM
  • Vector store
03

Production observability

Per-token traces, drift detection, evals tied to business outcomes — not vanity dashboards. Wired into your existing SIEM.

  • OpenTelemetry
  • Evals
  • Drift
04

Governance & rights

Provenance-aware ingestion, C2PA signing, audit trails, and policy guards built for jurisdictions that take broadcast law seriously.

  • C2PA
  • GDPR
  • EU AI Act
05

Custom training & finetune

Domain adaptation on your archives. We don't ship someone else's weights as a service — we tune to your editorial voice and your taxonomy.

  • LoRA
  • DPO
  • RLHF
06

Investor-grade diligence

For funds: AI maturity audits, technical due diligence, and post-investment platform reviews of media-tech portfolio companies.

  • Due diligence
  • Audits
  • Board reports

CASE 01 / NATIONAL BROADCASTER · EU
92%of catalog re-indexed in 11 days

Re-indexing a 38-year video archive without leaving the building.

We replaced a $4.1M/yr GPU pipeline with a Cloud AI 100 cluster running our own segmentation + ASR stack. Editorial search went from "ask the librarian" to sub-second across 280,000 hours of footage. On-prem, air-gapped, compliant with national broadcast law.

CASE 02 / GLOBAL WIRE SERVICE
38msmedian latency, live content classification

Real-time classification across 11 languages, at wire speed.

A live ingest layer that classifies, embeds, and de-duplicates every incoming story before it hits the rundown. Built on Snapdragon-class accelerators in regional edge nodes; one operator, six datacenters, zero GPU procurement.

CASE 03 / GROWTH-STAGE FUND
$1.4Bunder diligence, 9 portfolio reviews

An AI diligence framework partners will actually read.

A standing engagement: we audit prospective media-tech investments and review portfolio companies twice a year — silicon strategy, model dependencies, defensibility, regulatory exposure. The reports go straight into IC.

03 — Voices

Operators & allocators,
on the record.

"They walked in expecting to sell us a chatbot. They walked out with a contract to rebuild our ingest layer. A year on, it's the only thing in the building I don't worry about."
M. Lindqvist CTO, national public broadcaster
"The Qualcomm partnership isn't a logo on a slide — it's the reason their cost-per-inference numbers actually hold up in our diligence model."
A. Berhane Partner, growth-stage media fund
"Most AI vendors hand us a demo. atlaint handed us an SLA, a threat model, and the on-call rotation. That's the difference."
J. Okafor Head of Platform, global wire service

05 — FAQ

Common questions,
honest answers.

What does “Qualcomm Technology Partner” actually mean?
We have direct engineering access to Qualcomm's AI silicon roadmap, early-access hardware, and joint-deployment support. In practice: our reference architectures are co-validated, and we ship optimized model graphs that most teams can't get to without a 12-month detour.
Do you sell a product or a service?
Both — but never bundled. We deploy our platform (atlaint OS) under license, and we deliver the engagement that gets it into production. You can buy either independently; most operators buy both, most funds buy advisory only.
Where is data processed?
On your infrastructure, in your jurisdiction. Default deployments are on-prem or in single-tenant VPCs. We do not train shared models on customer data — ever.
What does an engagement cost?
Pilots start at €120k and run 8–12 weeks. Production deployments are scoped against a fixed reference architecture; most land in the €600k–€2.4M range over year one, including hardware. We publish a teardown of any quote on request.
Do you work with investors directly?
Yes. We run technical due diligence and portfolio reviews for a small number of growth-stage funds active in media, infrastructure, and applied AI. We will not engage on both sides of the same transaction.
Who's on the team?
Twenty-two engineers, four research leads, two governance counsel. Backgrounds across Qualcomm, DeepMind, public broadcasting, and Big-Four advisory. We hire slowly and on referral.

On the record, off the deck.

Tell us what you're trying to ship — or what you're being asked to underwrite. We'll come back inside 48 hours with whether we're the right team, and who we'd point you to if we're not.

  • Direct line to a principal — no SDR layer.
  • NDA on request, before the first call.
  • References available from operators and investors.
