Sub-Millisecond AI. The Nervous System for Real-Time AI.

CMLabs builds Psyclone AIOS — a real-time AI operating system that bridges slow, powerful GenAI reasoning with fast, deterministic control. Standard orchestration layers are too slow for physical AI, voice, and high-frequency decision-making. Psyclone isn’t.

New — Benchmark Report

Psyclone AIOS vs NATS, ROS 2, iceoryx & more

A rigorous single-node latency benchmark — competitive default speed, the tightest tails measured, and the runtime-reconfiguration capabilities no bare transport offers. Numbers reported without spin.

Indicative positioning: transport speed vs orchestration capability

Four capabilities, one runtime

Sub-millisecond latency

A C++ message bus and blackboard (Whiteboards™) built for sub-100μs communication, so kilohertz control loops and 300–500ms human turn-taking can run alongside multi-second frontier-model reasoning in the same system.

Auto-scalable

Distribution isn’t bolted on. Psyclone is natively multi-node: modules run across machines over TCP/UDP by design, so systems grow from a laptop to a server farm without an architecture rewrite.

Crash-resistant

A recent stability-hardening pass closed race conditions, memory-safety issues, and a shared-memory corruption bug across the core engine, with stall-detection built into the test suite — engineered for systems that can’t afford to go down.

Self-programming

Psyclone’s architecture already lets modules and even whole nodes join or leave a running system at will — proven in earlier Psyclone versions. Building on that foundation, an LLM Supervisor authors, loads, tests, and refines its own modules — the system extending itself under supervision.

What it powers

Psyclone AIOS is the platform underneath all of this — over two decades of research into large-scale, distributed AI systems, refined into a production runtime. It’s already been proven in demanding real-time use cases including voice AI and conversational agents, where production LLM pipelines typically break the natural 300–500ms rhythm of human conversation. Psyclone’s fast/slow bridge keeps that rhythm intact.

Proven, not just promised

CMLabs has been building real-time distributed systems for nearly two decades. Psyclone has powered EU-funded human-robot collaboration research (CoCoMaps/ECHORD++), work with major automotive and robotics manufacturers, and a live commercial deployment for facial-recognition.

AI safety, in the licence itself. All CMLabs software is released under LGPL or BSD, with a commercial licence available for Psyclone. Every licence includes the CADIA Clause — a hard restriction against use for harm, privacy violation, or warfare. It’s not a pledge; it’s a licensing term. Read more →
