NXAI GmbH

NXAI GmbH is an Austrian artificial intelligence company headquartered in Linz. It positions itself as a frontier AI lab whose mission is to build AI that can master any cognitive task, transferring research breakthroughs into market-relevant industrial applications. The company is strategically based in Linz, which it describes as a growing hotspot for tech and AI innovation, and it works closely with Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz and other research institutions worldwide. NXAI's core technological differentiator is its proprietary xLSTM memory architecture. According to the company, xLSTM enables state-tracking and outperforms the currently dominant Transformer architectures. NXAI is building specialized world models based on time-series analysis, notably TiRex, with new memory architectures. The company claims these deliver 50× impact across industrial systems in edge, embedded, and forecasting applications. Its longer-term roadmap includes large-scale world models built on neural memory hierarchies and memory routing, with major applications in robotics. NXAI describes itself as composed of a harmonious triad of elite AI research, digital product know-how, and industry expertise, with the objective of tightly integrating science and business. Its research mission is to achieve pioneering breakthroughs and leverage them for industrial applications in engineering, robotics, design, automation, process control, and optimization. The company builds foundation models — scalable and effective generalist AI models — drawing on three decades of experience in sequence modeling. The company emphasizes being "European by Design": founded in Linz, built in Europe, and globally relevant. It states that it holds top positions in globally recognized leaderboards. NXAI deploys its xLSTM models in a cloud environment but focuses on edge applications, supported by its own edge lab. Its models are designed for real-world deployment, described as efficient, robust, and reliable. NXAI's Chief Scientist and co-founder is Prof. Dr. Sepp Hochreiter, described as one of the fathers of modern deep learning. The company's stated goal is to bring together the world's leading AI researchers and top industrial companies in one location. It is a private company; no parent company or ownership structure is disclosed in the available evidence.
