Field evaluation is underway.

STONE is operating within complex, unstructured physical environments as part of ongoing work in embodied AI and material-native compute.

The environment is now part of the model. by @notionalco

STONE.

AI-enabled. Geologically native.

Foundation-model architecture, now available in a fundamentally different form factor.

The next generation of AI infrastructure won’t look like infrastructure.

Introducing a new class of physically instantiated compute, developed at the intersection of foundation models, edge-native architecture, and the material environment.

More soon. by @notionalco

Field validation complete.

BLAST-1 completed 72 hours of continuous autonomous operation across mixed expeditionary surfaces, maintaining clearance objectives through rain, standing water, and variable particulate conditions.

No personnel intervention was required.

BLAST-1.

High-velocity variable airflow. Autonomous navigation. All-terrain mobility. Networked tasking. A ruggedized architecture designed for sustained operation across expeditionary environments.

No capability should remain manual simply because nobody thought to automate it.

Air superiority starts on the ground. by @notionalco

Debris is a battlespace condition.

Foreign object debris, particulate accumulation and environmental obstruction continue to impose avoidable risk on expeditionary operations.

Existing mitigation remains personnel-intensive, inconsistent and largely unnetworked.

We thought that was strange. by @notionalco

The platform performed as designed.

HAB-1 has completed operational assessments across multiple littoral environments, including ship-to-shore deployment, autonomous transit, surf-zone recovery, and rapid re-embarkation.

Testing confirmed reliable performance at full operator load with minimal deployment infrastructure.

Operator feedback has been unusually positive.

Combat-proven recreational geometry.

HAB-1 retains the simplicity of the original banana architecture while introducing multi-chamber survivability, autonomous navigation, reinforced operator interfaces, and mission-configurable payload capacity.

Its low-draft form factor enables rapid deployment in environments where conventional maritime platforms introduce unnecessary complexity.

Six operator positions. Zero crew.

Some geometries endure for a reason. by @notionalco

Introducing HAB-1.

The Hardened Autonomous Banana is a lightweight maritime mobility platform designed for rapid personnel movement across the littoral environment.

HAB-1 combines the simplicity and low logistical burden of a recreational towable with autonomous navigation, ruggedized construction, and mission-configurable payload interfaces.

Six operators. Minimal draft. Maximum morale.
