About Ostler AI
Domain Expertise
Over Frontier Hype
Ostler AI was founded on a simple premise: Hardware design is too critical to be left to generic "wrapper" AI. We build EDA-native models that are leaner, more accurate, and designed to run privately within your own infrastructure.
Specialization vs. Scale
Vance demonstrates that a domain-tuned 4B model can outperform general-purpose giants on hardware-specific benchmarks.
The Problem with Frontier Models
Why EDA-Native?
Beyond the Wrapper
Most "AI for EDA" tools are just agent workflows sitting on top of frontier models. We believe in domain-specific tuning to eliminate hallucinations and improve syntax adherence.
Professionalism & Ethics
In an industry built on intellectual property, we believe in responsible data provenance. We distance ourselves from the trend of opaque sourcing in favor of a transparent, domain-specific approach.
Private & Lean
Vance is a 4B parameter model trained on a home-grown cluster of RTX 3090s. It proves that specialized, smaller models can outperform giants while remaining deployable on private clouds.
