# Social Machines AI — Machines that perceive the real world

> Social Machines AI is a Singapore-based frontier AI lab (est. 2026). It builds the compute, perception, and autonomy layer for the physical world through four companies: SupaDirect (distributed AI compute fabric), Aiko (AI app builder), XRAM Ai (defense and intelligence AI), and HorusXR (3D video management with Gaussian splatting).

FRONTIER AI LAB — SINGAPORE — EST. 2026
We don't build chatbots. We build machines that see, sense, and reason about physical space — and the infrastructure to run them anywhere on Earth.

## Approach
- Perception — Sensor fusion, computer vision, and 3D reconstruction that let machines understand physical space.
- Compute — A distributed fabric to train, host, and stream frontier models anywhere — to the edge and back.
- Autonomy — Agents and digital twins that reason, track, and act on live data in real time.
- Sovereignty — Edge-first and deployable in air-gapped, contested, and field environments.

## Portfolio
- [SupaDirect](https://supadirect.ai/): DISTRIBUTED COMPUTE. A distributed AI compute, hosting, and streaming fabric that puts frontier models wherever they are needed — low-latency inference at the edge, sovereign by design, elastic at planetary scale.
- [Aiko](https://socialmachines.ai/#portfolio): AI APP BUILDER · PART OF SUPADIRECT. Turn intent into deployed software. Aiko composes, builds, and ships AI applications directly onto the SupaDirect fabric — no scaffolding, no DevOps tax.
- [XRAM Ai](https://socialmachines.ai/#portfolio): DEFENSE · INTELLIGENCE · SECURITY. AI software and hardware for the defense and intelligence community. Advanced sensor fusion and digital twins resolve into live tracking and real-time situational awareness across contested environments.
- [HorusXR](https://socialmachines.ai/#portfolio): SURVEILLANCE PLATFORM · VMS. A video management system that reconstructs the world in three dimensions. Gaussian splatting turns camera networks into live, navigable digital twins of any environment.
