# ABD — Artificial By Design

## Overview
ABD (Artificial By Design) is an AI infrastructure company building ABD Fabric, a GPU hypervisor and compatibility layer for hybrid AI data centers. ABD Fabric breaks NVIDIA CUDA lock-in by enabling AI and HPC workloads to run across heterogeneous GPU and accelerator hardware without application code changes.

## Core Technology: ABD Fabric
ABD Fabric is a hardware-accelerated semantic translation layer for AI infrastructure. It intercepts CUDA API calls, adapts and reimplements runtime behavior on the fly, and executes workloads across compatible accelerator hardware including AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, and custom ASIC targets.

### Key Capabilities
- GPU-agnostic AI workload execution
- Hardware-accelerated semantic translation, not emulation
- Unmodified CUDA workload portability
- 2.19x throughput observed vs. NVIDIA H100 in tested workloads
- 4.4x cost reduction for AI infrastructure in benchmarked and modeled deployments
- Enterprise-grade interoperability for data-center, NeoCloud, OEM, and HPC environments

## Market Context
- 90%+ of AI workloads are locked into NVIDIA CUDA
- $250B+ addressable market in AI compatibility, enablement, and hardware-choice infrastructure
- Target customers: data-center operators, NeoCloud providers, OEM system builders, enterprise AI operators, and HPC organizations

## Founding Partner Program
ABD offers an invitation-only ABD Fabric Founding Partner Program for a limited cohort of 10–15 companies. The program is designed to validate ABD Fabric with production-representative AI/HPC workloads on AMD-first or existing hardware environments.

Program highlights:
- No-cost 90-day pilot with license and runtime fees waived during validation
- Founder economics, including a 35% discount on ABD Fabric platform licensing upon conversion
- Direct access to ABD engineering and a named deployment engineer
- Early access to pre-general-availability builds and runtime targets
- Seat on the ABD Founding Partner Technical Council
- Partner validation scorecard covering functional correctness, performance vs. baseline, cost/TCO, scalability, and time-to-deploy
