The smart-drone compute layer has stayed first-party at every major OEM. DJI, Skydio, Antigravity, Autel, Parrot — each runs their own silicon, firmware, and SDK. They've built remarkable products that way, and the approach makes sense for a vertically integrated company. It also means every other drone builder in the world is starting from scratch.

We're taking a different approach. By open-sourcing our ADOS platform design, we're creating a shared compute layer that the rest of the industry can build on together, instead of each company reinventing the same stack.

The best platforms aren't the ones that win alone. They're the ones everyone else gets to build on.
