aiCTX (now SynSense)

aiCTX AG — renamed SynSense AG in May 2020 — is a neuromorphic computing company founded in Zurich in 2017 out of the Institute of Neuroinformatics at the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich. It designs ultra-low-power mixed-signal neuromorphic processors and smart sensors for always-on, sub-milliwatt edge inference: the Speck and DYNAP-CNN event-driven vision SoCs, the Xylo family for audio and IMU signal processing, and the DVS, Rigi and AEVEON sensor series. Its developer surface is a stack of open-source Python libraries rather than a product web API — Samna (the device interface and runtime), Rockpool (spiking network training and deployment) and Sinabs (PyTorch spiking CNNs) — backed by a developer community, forum, and firmware and datasheet download hub at synsense.ai. The one HTTP API the company serves publicly is the anonymous, read-only WordPress REST content API behind that corporate site, which exposes its products, partners, offices, awards, open roles and news as machine-readable JSON.

aiCTX (now SynSense) publishes 1 API contract indexed on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Neuromorphic Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Semiconductors, and Edge Computing.

aiCTX (now SynSense)’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, changelog, authentication, and 25 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document Ask about this →
MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship Ask about this →
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author Ask about this →
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented) Ask about this →
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0 Ask about this →

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/aictx/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/aictx to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Semiconductor Consortia (RISC-V, OCP hardware, CHIPS awards)	distribution	9.6 (thin)	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
