Why NIR?

Cross-platform

Build once, run anywhere. NIR works seamlessly with 12+ neuromorphic simulators and hardware platforms.

Simplicity

Skip the complexity. Like ONNX, NIR standardizes models, so you don't need to master every hardware platform.

Reduce development time

Stick with your favorite tools—NIR handles the hardware quirks and boilerplate for you.

Software decoupling

Design faster. NIR lets models and hardware evolve independently without breaking compatibility.

Future-proof

Built on continuous-time equations, NIR stays compatible with today’s tools—and ready for tomorrow’s hardware.

Global impact.
