Latent AI , a leading provider of edge AI solutions, and Wind River , an Aptiv company and the global leader in software for intelligent edge applications, announced their strategic collaboration to accelerate the development of edge AI and integrate artificial intelligence into real-time edge platforms used for mission-critical infrastructure across various industries and sectors.
This collaboration combines Wind River’s proven edge computing platforms – VxWorks ® , Wind River ® Linux , and eLxr™ Pro – with the Latent AI Efficient Inference Platform (LEIP) . Together, these technologies deliver high-performance, secure, and efficient AI inference at the edge, specifically tailored for environments where determinism, reliability, and energy efficiency are essential. This integrated AI-RTOS solution supports mission-critical AI applications such as secure and certifiable workflows from model training to deployment, delivering a clear operational advantage at the tactical edge.
“This partnership represents a turning point for edge AI, evolving from pilot projects to mission-critical systems—from fighter jets to Mars rovers. With Wind River’s recognized leadership in RTOS, we are revolutionizing the integration of AI into critical infrastructure. Together, we are transforming how AI is integrated into the backbone of critical infrastructure,” said Jags Kandasamy, CEO and co-founder of Latent AI.
“The future of intelligent systems will depend on how effectively we can process and act on data at the edge. By combining Wind River’s capabilities in mission-critical applications and edge computing with Latent AI’s AI optimization technology, we are providing enterprises with AI-enabled systems that ensure safe, adaptive, real-time decision-making in the most demanding environments,” said Javed Khan, Executive Vice President and President of Software, Advanced Safety, and User Experience at Aptiv.

LEIP enables real-time decision-making by compressing AI models up to 10x without compromising accuracy. The secure MLOps pipeline enables rapid model updates and deployments, demonstrating unique adaptability in dynamic operational scenarios where traditional cloud-based solutions reach their limits. This partnership supports the first comprehensive integration of enterprise-class AI optimization with proven RTOS technology, setting a new standard for intelligent edge systems.
By combining Wind River‘s edge platforms with Latent AI‘s model compression and MLOps capabilities, developers can deliver AI-enabled applications with the same reliability and certification standards required by mission-critical industries.
Market-leading VxWorks is the industry’s most trusted and widely deployed RTOS for mission-critical systems that require end-to-end protection. As the first commercial RTOS, VxWorks supports OCI (Open Container Initiative)-compliant containers, facilitating the rapid deployment of new software-defined features. Wind River Linux is the most modern Linux platform for embedded systems, helping teams develop, deploy, and operate robust, reliable, and secure embedded solutions running on a purpose-built Linux operating system. Wind River eLxr Pro provides commercial support and maintenance services for the open-source community distribution eLxr —an enterprise-grade Debian derivative—helping customers implement scalable, secure, and highly reliable Linux solutions that meet the complex challenges of cloud-to-edge deployments.
