Every number on this page comes from one controlled field measurement, across five independent labs' flagship models on one NVIDIA H100. Not a curated slide. The complete signed files are shared directly with companies evaluating HexStellar, under NDA.
Signed, not public
We don't ask you to take our word for it — we ask you to sign an NDA.
The measurement below is real, signed, and independently timestamped. We share the complete files directly with companies evaluating HexStellar.
One NVIDIA H100 80GB, running vLLM 0.26.0. The layer on versus off, at identical load, across five independent labs' flagship models.
| Lab · Model | Energy / card | Peak temp, off → on |
|---|---|---|
| Alibaba Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct | −26.9% | 60.9 → 47.5 °C |
| Meta Llama 3.3 70B | −27.4% | 62.4 → 47.4 °C |
| DeepSeek R1-Distill 70B | −24.8% | 61.9 → 49.3 °C |
| Google Gemma 3 27B | −17.2% | 52.6 → 43.1 °C |
| Microsoft Phi-4 (14B) | −25.5% | 51.0 → 40.2 °C |
A SEPARATE, DEEPER CONFIGURATION — PHI-4 ONLY
This is a different test setup from the five-model table above, run on Microsoft's Phi-4 alone under a deeper configuration. Over about 19 minutes on one server, starting from a draw of 482.7 W, the energy reduction rose from 38.0% to 50.5% and leveled off there. Board power: 306 W → 152 W. Peak temperature: 48.2°C → 39.2°C. This is the single largest result in the whole dataset — from a different configuration, not from re-running the standard comparison harder.
Same answers, identical results, zero errors — the layer on versus off, across every model tested. The premise is narrow and practical: make the chips a company already owns do more work with less power, without touching the outputs.
Five unrelated model families, five independent labs, sizes from 14B to 72B parameters — all through the same integration surface, with no per-model work and no changes to the model itself.

The measurement above is a language-model workload, because that is the one we finished first. The runtime is not built around language models — it operates wherever the same shape of problem shows up. These are the fronts it already runs on. Each gets the same treatment as the page above: one result at a time, measured, scoped, signed.
The one that shouldn't be possible
NP-hard combinatorial optimisation — maximum cut, graph partitioning, set cover, exact cover, number partitioning — is the class an entire category of specialist machines exists to attack: purpose-built accelerators, some of them cryogenically cooled, priced accordingly. We reach the proven optimum on public benchmark instances of this class on a consumer laptop. No GPU. No accelerator. No cryogenics. No cloud.
The instances are public and checking a result is cheap, so this is verifiable by anyone who wants to — which is the point. Full figures go up with the write-up.
Route ordering, capacitated vehicle routing, assignment and scheduling — the shapes that sit under fleet, delivery and workforce planning.
Choosing the best subset when everything competes for the same budget — the arithmetic behind portfolio, capacity and resource decisions.
Recovering structure from very large, noisy detector output — hundreds of thousands of points resolved in a single pass.
The same runtime, off the network. No datacenter in the loop, and nothing leaving the device.
Measured, not published. That is as much as we will say in public today.
Figures for each front go up over the coming days, one at a time. Companies evaluating HexStellar see them first →
HexStellar wasn't the plan. It surfaced while we were building the infrastructure behind Trust Carbon Infrastructure — our other venture, a verification platform for carbon and environmental data, legally operated by Zenith Flow Innovations.
Deep in that infrastructure, we ran into a computational bottleneck that shouldn't have existed. We went after it anyway. Months of quiet investigation later, what we'd found was bigger than the problem we started with.
That side investigation became HexStellar. The benchmark on this page is what it does today.
Six sides. It's nature's most efficient tessellation — honeycombs, carbon rings, basalt columns, snowflakes. It's also the language machines use to talk to themselves: hexadecimal is the base of every byte, every color, every memory address. Hex is the shape of the architecture itself.
Not a metaphor for ambition — a reference to efficiency. A star is the most efficient energy-conversion system that exists: fusion turns mass into energy at a ratio no engineered system has matched. That's the standard "Stellar" refers to. Not speed. An efficiency bar set by physics itself.
"Performance is a moral question — every wasted joule is a choice someone made when designing a language."
We didn't build HexStellar to be a "green" language. We built it to be the most correctly engineered language. The environmental consequence — less energy, less heat, less hardware stress — is the natural outcome of getting the foundation right.
The venture we were building when HexStellar found us — and the reason we know how to hold an engineering claim to a standard that survives scrutiny.
Digital MRV & Verification Platform · Est. 2023
Trust Carbon Infrastructure is a methodology-agnostic verification platform for carbon credit and biodiversity projects, built to work under real field conditions — offline-first data collection from a smartphone, with anti-fraud safeguards like GPS-spoofing detection and cryptographic hashing of every record. It supports major methodologies including Verra, Gold Standard, CDM and LuxCS, in 17 languages.
Over two million lines of code across the web platform and the mobile app — and almost none of it borrowed. The field app runs completely without an internet connection: no third-party APIs, no external services to call, and its own navigation system rather than a hosted map. That was not a preference. The places this platform is used do not have a signal, so anything rented from the cloud simply would not run there.
That constraint is also where HexStellar came from. Building a system that had to do everything itself, on whatever hardware was in someone's hand, is what turned a computational bottleneck into a question worth chasing.
The platform was named one of five global winners of the DPI for People and Planet Innovation Challenge, out of 540 startups from 73 countries — a $100K award, judged by the Gates Foundation, BCG and JICA. It's the same discipline — auditable, reproducible, sealed against drift — that HexStellar's benchmark numbers are held to.
Trust Carbon Infrastructure is legally operated by Zenith Flow Innovations LLC, a U.S. company based in California.
