Company

Research roots.
Operational focus.

Scaleout builds software infrastructure for AI across devices and sites. We bring distributed machine learning research together with the engineering needed to put it to work.

Why we build

Bring learning closer
to where AI operates.

Useful AI has to work with the data, hardware, and connectivity available in the deployment. The observations that could improve a model often cannot be collected in one central place.

Our work connects model operation, local improvement, and learning across sites. Scaleout Edge provides the shared foundation; application software and engineering connect it to the task.

Founded by researchers from Uppsala University, Scaleout combines experience in distributed systems, scientific computing, and machine learning.

People
