Its first commercial products are custom FPGA cards loaded with proprietary IP for AI inference workloads, alongside brain-inspired transformer architectures for improved performance and energy efficiency. Backed by $10M in seed funding from GCC sovereign wealth funds, Mastiska targets the UAE, GCC, Southeast Asia, BRICS nations, and the Global South.
