Tetra

Tetra (Tetra AI) was a Seattle, Washington startup building on-device AI models for vision, audio, and speech, optimized to run efficiently on mobile, compute, automotive, and IoT hardware. Backed by Wing Venture Capital and Shield Capital, the company was acquired by Qualcomm on October 1, 2023 and its technology and team were absorbed into Qualcomm's AI model and Snapdragon efforts. As an independent company Tetra no longer operates a standalone website, developer portal, or public API surface, so there are no API artifacts to enrich. This profile is retained as a Wing Venture Capital portfolio record with its identity reconciled to the acquired entity.

Tetra is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, On-Device AI, and Computer Vision.
