Hammer Of The Gods (hotg.ai) is building the developer experience tools and infrastructure for secure edge computing. We built a open source no-OS container technology for portable ML workloads and models to run on many devices. hotg.ai makes compute portable for a variety of applications where data is too expensive or difficult to centralize. Containerize and run your entire ML pipeline anywhere - devices, desktops, cloud, serverless - places where docker won't even run!
