AboutComputing · From the machines up

Praecise builds and runs computing end to end.

Praecise builds the computing businesses and teams run their operations on, and runs it for them: the machines, the operating system and the edge hardware on them, the cloud placed on that, and the automation on top. One Praecise account opens all of it.

Why one stack

Most businesses that want their operations automated do not have the people to build it, cannot hold the cost and the risk of it, and would be placing it with one of three cloud providers that already take most of the spend. Expertise, cost and control, and concentration: those are the gaps.

Praecise closes them by owning the stack. The machines are Praecise Metal. Furcate, a Linux-based operating system Praecise develops and stewards as open source, runs them, and Praecise Furcate builds Praecise's own hardware and systems on it, down to the edge cells that run a home, a business or a city district with their own control. Praecise Cloud is placed on that, and Ipnops and Praecise Inbox automate the work of businesses and teams on top, under limits the owner sets, leaving a record of every step. Skerry carries the payments: payment infrastructure for agentic commerce and stablecoin payments.

Research and open source are the engineering base under all of it, not a separate business. Praecise Harness and Praecise Engine are published under Apache-2.0, and the research notes publish what was measured on hardware, including what did not work.

What runs on it(6)

  1. 01

    The machines, and the software that operates them. Measurement, forecasting, placement, power and thermal control, on Praecise Furcate. Praecise runs its own machines on it, and builds the same capability on metal its customers own. One ownership view covers core clusters and edge cells alike, from a home to a city. Everything above runs on it.

  2. 02

    Our systems for machines, edge cells and data centers, on the open Furcate. Praecise designs its own Furcate Leaf, Node and Hub hardware and runs homes, businesses and city districts as cells, each a cluster with its own control and authority held in hardware keys. It adds tuned system images, optimised model serving, fleet operations and support. Underneath is Furcate, the open-source operating system Praecise develops and stewards at furcate.org.

  3. 03

    Apps, MCP servers, backend hosting, orchestration. Built from source, placed behind the edge, supervised and reversible, on hardware Praecise owns. Agents, models, data and machines run there too.

  4. 04

    Praecise Inbox

    Automation

    Email and messaging for people, agents and machines. Mailboxes for people and agents on a domain the business verified once, with everything said kept in one record a person can open and search.

  5. 05

    Ipnops

    Automation

    Agentic automation for business operations. Connects payments, accounting, commerce and mail, and acts across them with permission, never ownership. Every run stays within limits the owner sets and leaves a record.

  6. 06

    Skerry

    Payments

    Payment infrastructure for agentic commerce and stablecoin payments. Global payment orchestration: one programmable surface over virtual accounts, stablecoin conversion and cross-border payouts. Bridge and Stripe perform the regulated acts under their own licences.

How we work(5)

  1. 01

    Measure on hardware

    A simulation is only as right as its cost model, and the only test of a cost model is measurement. Numbers on this site are cited to the file they came from.

  2. 02

    Publish the negative result

    An idea that was measured to do nothing stays documented, so it is not rebuilt. Absence is not evidence.

  3. 03

    Refuse rather than substitute

    An unknown backend, an unlicensed drafter, a tool call outside the guard: each is an error that says what was valid, never a quiet fallback.

  4. 04

    Licences in code, not comments

    Which checkpoints an engine may load and which extensions a store may use are enforced where they are used. Both projects are Apache-2.0.

  5. 05

    Open source is complete on its own

    The Harness runs on your endpoints, your database and your storage. The Cloud is the managed side of the same app: the config gets shorter, the code does not change.

The work is public.
