What it solves

HexStellar provides a computational counterpart for AI agents, allowing them to offload complex optimization, decision, and scientific-operation problems that are too large or complex for language models to solve through reasoning alone. It bridges the gap between an agent's ability to understand intent and the actual execution of hard combinatorial or mathematical problems.

How it works

The platform operates through two primary delivery surfaces:

1. Cortex: A public CLI/API managed service where agents formulate problems into supported contracts (JSON) and send them to HexStellar's accelerated infrastructure for execution. Results are returned with explicit assurance levels (e.g., certified for proven optimal or heuristic for high-quality candidates).
2. Enterprise Low-Energy Runtime & Acceleration: A licensed, customer-deployed library that brings the same acceleration and energy-efficiency technology to a customer's own infrastructure under NDA.

Agents use a workflow of discovery (hexstellar capabilities), formulation, validation, and execution, with built-in tools for cost estimation and verification of results.

Who it’s for

AI agents and developers building LLM-based applications that require high-precision, verified results for hard optimization and decision problems, as well as enterprise customers requiring energy-efficient, accelerated computation in their own environment.

Highlights

• Agent-First Design: Features machine-readable JSON output, RFC 9457 error envelopes with agent-fix prompts, and semantic exit codes for automated recovery.
• Zero Setup: The CLI is a pure Python standard library implementation with no dependencies, allowing for instant use in sandboxes via pip install hexstellar or pure-HTTP calls.
• Honest Assurance: Clearly distinguishes between proven optimal results (certified) and high-quality approximations (heuristic).
• Free Preflight: Includes --dry-run for validation and cost estimation without charge.
• Energy Efficient: Built on a foundation of software acceleration that reduces energy use and compute costs.
