Impossible Computing

Impossible Computing is a company focused on inference infrastructure for AI systems, developing tools to discover, validate, and govern inference capabilities across models, runtimes, hardware, and workloads. The founder, Keith Ballinger, previously served as SVP of Engineering at GitHub and VP & GM at Google Cloud, leading roles in the developer organization, Gemini for Developers, GKE, Cloud Run, and Foundation Services. The company's stated goal is to support the development of next-generation AI through these infrastructure tools.

The company is currently developing an open-source tool for inference experiments called Jacq, which is a small DSL language and compiler that turns a text file describing a model or kernel into CUDA C++. Users can start with a .jac file, generate code, inspect the result, and try a change. This tool is part of their ongoing investigation into inference systems and developer tools.

Impossible Computing is exploring heterogeneous inference, including KV-cache handoff between models, to see if inference can move between models. They are investigating where model boundaries might become more flexible, such as allowing Model A to hand off inference state to Model B. This research is part of their broader investigation into inference systems and evaluation.

The company values concrete experiments, clear explanations, and useful technology, with research serving as the method to learn what to build next. Their approach involves finding ideas worth pursuing, testing them carefully, and developing the promising ones toward potential products. They maintain an open-source presence with their Jacq compiler available on GitHub.

The company's website states they are exploring what's next in AI inference and building technology to develop promising work toward products. They describe their mission as turning promising work into useful technology through independent inquiry. The website also mentions their focus on AI inference, evaluation, and developer tools.
