Open source
System source is public and may be used and modified under its open-source licenses.
An open real-time foundation for future intelligent systems.
OpenXTOS is the open-source distribution of XTOS and includes kernel integration, user-space SDKs, build scripts, and verification paths.
Why build an independent real-time system?
General-purpose operating systems support broad software ecosystems. But when AI / Super Intelligence models must work continuously with physical devices, average performance is not enough to answer when data arrives, how events are scheduled, or whether the system will keep responding.
Brain-computer interfaces, medical research, and edge devices need clearer timing boundaries, data paths, and verification responsibilities. XTOS starts at this layer and provides a buildable, measurable, reviewable real-time base for applications that connect models and devices.

The company develops and maintains XTOS and publishes its source through OpenXTOS. Contributions from developers are welcome.
Preparing the lower layer for AGI / SGI
AGI and SGI are long-term directions, not capabilities XTOS claims to have already achieved.
Long-term direction
As intelligent systems move from software interfaces into real environments, future AGI / SGI systems may need to coordinate models, devices, sensors, actuators, and persistent operating conditions. The lower layer must explain where data came from, who handled it, when the system responded, and how the result was verified.
Current boundary
Today XTOS provides a real-time kernel base, user-space SDKs, signal processing, BCI session interfaces, and multi-architecture build and verification paths. Model weights, inference services, feedback policies, general AGI / SGI capabilities, and real-hardware performance must be implemented, measured, and verified separately by downstream systems and applications.
Development and maintenance
Real-time first
Focus on task response times and test latency on target devices.
Build from source
Build scripts are provided for x86_64, ARM64, and RISC-V64.
Collaborative maintenance
Contribute code, fix issues, and improve documentation.

LICENSE-NOTICEAn open project needs people to build it
Open source is more than publishing code. It needs long-term contributions, feedback, and resource support.
Contribute
Start with a source build and verification. Then improve one boundary in the SDK, tools, drivers, docs, or tests in a way others can reproduce and review.
