AI & Innovation

Domains We’re Investing In

Stillwaters.ai — Where Cutting-Edge AI Meets Core Compute

AI GPU Engineering at Stillwaters.ai

India’s premier AI integration firm, trusted by leaders like Google, NVIDIA, OpenAI, and Tesla.

At Stillwaters.ai, we go beyond models—we engineer performance deep into the silicon. Specializing in GPU-level AI optimization, we craft ultra-efficient kernels using CUDA, PTX assembly, and CUTLASS across Ampere, Hopper, and Blackwell architectures.

We don’t just use PyTorch—we write the kernel. We tune shared memory, manage warp-level matrix ops, and chase clock-cycle-perfect execution.

We own Nvidia's wild beast, The Tensor Cores.

Whether it's GenAI, RAG, or multimodal AI, we optimize every FLOP, every byte, every cycle.

Our team collaborates closely with hardware architects and AI researchers to push the boundaries of what's possible, delivering scalable solutions that maximize throughput while minimizing latency.
