Cortisonic works on physical reservoir computing, a way of processing information using the natural behaviour of tiny moving parts called nanomechanical oscillators. It aims to run AI at very low power at the edge, meaning on devices rather than in large data centres. The company describes its technology as physics-powered learning machines.

Why it matters in Australia: Australian venture fund Main Sequence has backed Cortisonic since 2026.
