  Positron AI is a US-based generative-AI hardware company founded in 2023 and headquartered in Reno, Nevada,
  building purpose-built Transformer inference accelerators as an alternative to GPU-based inference infrastructure.
  Its shipping product, Atlas, is a rack inference appliance built on eight in-house Archer accelerators (256 GB HBM)
  and dual AMD EPYC Genoa processors, with the next-generation Asimov silicon and Titan system slated for 2027.
  Positron exposes its inference fleet through "Olivaw", a serving and administration layer that publishes two
  documented HTTP APIs: an OpenAI-compatible completions API (models, chat completions, text completions, with
  server-sent-event streaming) so existing OpenAI client code can be repointed at a Positron endpoint, and an
  administrative API for managing models, service nodes, users, and access tokens on an appliance or hosted cluster.
  The company raised a $230M Series B in February 2026 at a valuation above $1B from ARENA, Jump Trading, Unless,
  the Qatar Investment Authority, Arm, Helena, DFJ Growth, Atreides, Valor, Resilience Reserve, Flume Ventures and
  1517 Fund.

- name: Positron Olivaw OpenAI-Compatible Inference API
  description: >-
    OpenAI API-compatible inference endpoint served by Positron's Olivaw serving layer. Lists available models,
    retrieves a single model, and creates chat completions and raw text completions against models loaded onto
    Positron Atlas hardware, with optional text/event-stream streaming responses and Positron-specific selection
    settings (max_tokens, temperature, top_p, top_k). Authenticated with an API key in the authorization header.
    Because the API mirrors the OpenAI surface, existing OpenAI client libraries can be repointed at a Positron
    endpoint without code changes.

    api.positron.ai is live (Caddy, HTTP/2) and returns 401 Unauthorized on every probed path, including
    /openapi.json, /v1/models and /.well-known/*, so the surface is entirely auth-gated and could not be
    enumerated anonymously (probed 2026-08-02). The published OpenAPI declares a deployment-scoped server
    template `{host}/api/v1` whose default host is `http://localhost:4000` (an on-premises Atlas appliance);
    the user guide documents hosted endpoints in the form `https://<groupname>-olivaw.fly.dev`.

    Administrative API for the Olivaw layer that fronts Positron Atlas hardware. Manages the model catalog
    (list/create/read/update/delete), the service nodes that back it (Giskard, vLLM or OpenAI backends, with
    per-node JSON configuration and model lists), platform users, and API access tokens. Published by Positron AI
    as an OpenAPI 3.1.0 document in the public positron-ai/admin-api-docs repository; secured with a bearer
    API key.

    The published admin OpenAPI declares no servers[] block; the admin surface is served per deployment by the
    Olivaw appliance/cluster. api.positron.ai is Positron's live, auth-gated (401) API host as probed 2026-08-02.
