Founder's letter

The Nemi Master Plan

Do for hardware what LLMs did for software.

Every few decades, the way we make things changes completely. Ford revolutionized manufacturing with the assembly line in 1913. Toyota did it with the Toyota Production System in 1950. Computing and digitization brought in new levels of efficiency from the 1990s onward. Each shift moved enormous market share to the companies that adopted the new method, away from the ones that did not.

Nemi exists to change that.

— Anirudh Ravi Narayanan
