Panthalassa
Builds autonomous, free-floating wave-energy platforms ('nodes') mass-produced from plate steel that operate unmanned in energy-dense open-ocean wave regions, generating clean electricity around the clock and using it onboard to power AI inference chips, returning tokens to land via satellite. The company has developed the power generation, propulsion, autonomy and at-sea computing stack in-house over roughly a decade; Ocean-1, Ocean-2 and Wavehopper prototypes were deployed at sea in 2021 and 2024. Ocean-3 pilot nodes are planned for the northern Pacific in 2026, with commercial deployments targeted for 2027.
