description: >-
  First-party SynSense (formerly aiCTX) client libraries. SynSense ships no HTTP client SDK —
  the company's developer surface is a stack of Python libraries that drive its neuromorphic
  silicon over USB/FPGA dev kits. Every version and published date below was read from the
  registry metadata endpoint (https://pypi.org/pypi/<name>/json) on 2026-09-14; the registry's
  own upload_time_iso_8601 for the current release is the date recorded. No npm, Maven, NuGet,
  crates.io, RubyGems, Packagist or pkg.go.dev package is published under the SynSense or aiCTX
  name — the npm registry search for "synsense" returns zero results.

  published: '2026-06-22'
  note: >-
    "SynSense Samna Public Package" — the developer interface and runtime for every SynSense
    device. Python API over a C++ core, with an event-stream filter graph and a JIT compiler for
    user-defined filters. Registry maintainer email is @synsense.ai, which is the first-party
    signal. This is the closest thing SynSense has to an API contract, and it is a local
    device-binding library, not a network interface.

  version: 3.1.0
  published: '2026-07-02'
  note: >-
    Training, simulation and deployment library for spiking neural networks, with Torch, JAX,
    Brian2, Numba and NumPy backends and deployment targets for the Xylo family. Registry
    maintainer email is @synsense.ai. Actively maintained — the current release is ten weeks old
    at time of profiling.

  version: 3.1.3
  published: '2026-02-04'
  note: >-
    PyTorch-based library for spiking convolutional networks and for porting CNNs to DYNAP-CNN
    and Speck silicon. The PyPI author field reads "SynSense (formerly AiCTX)", which is the
    provider's own published confirmation of this repo's aiCTX -> SynSense identity.

  note: Sinabs plugin implementing the EXODUS algorithm for efficient BPTT training of SNNs.

  version: 2.0.0
  published: '2024-03-14'
  status: deprecated
  note: >-
    The package's own PyPI summary declares it deprecated and merged into sinabs. Recorded for
    completeness and as a decay signal, not as a current install path.

  published: '2022-03-23'
  status: stale
  note: >-
    C++-backed simulator for quantized SNN accelerators, published by a @synsense.ai maintainer.
    Last release 2022-03-23 — four and a half years stale, and the Xylo simulation path has since
    moved inside Rockpool. An abandonment signal on this package specifically, not on the stack.

  version: 1.6.0
  published: '2025-01-25'
  note: >-
    Neuromorphic dataset loading and transforms. SynSense links it from its own documentation
    page as part of the recommended stack, but it is published by "The Neuromorphs of Telluride"
    under the neuromorphs GitHub org, not by SynSense — official:false for that reason.
