The world doesn’t operate in layers. It operates under pressure.
Defend a coastline. Respond to a flood. Keep the grid running. Build the infrastructure a city depends on.
Decisions like these demand the whole picture. Intelligence connected to action. The people in the field connected to the people making the call.
That’s the ambition behind BirunIQ.
One geospatial intelligence engine. Seventeen industries. Your existing GIS, enterprise systems and field crews working as one.
Sovereign by design. No migration. No rebuild. No integration project.
Thirty seconds. Watch the video. You’ll see where we’re going.
BirunIQ is coming. If you want to help build what comes next, let’s talk. Investors welcome.
Defend. Protect. Operate. Manage. Build.
17 industries. One geospatial intelligence engine.
Your GIS. Your systems. Your crews. Working as one.
Sovereign by design.
No migration. No rebuild. No integration project.
Watch what’s coming.

I was building a 3D globe using WebGPU.
Accidentally made Flubber with coordinates. 🌍
It jiggles. It wobbles. Now i'm pretty attached to the bug.
Fix it or ship it?

A release is a promise to the people who build on it.
AI helps us move faster, but we still design, write and review code, test difficult datasets, and take responsibility for what ships.
In geospatial software, a silent error can travel through an entire pipeline before anyone notices. The cost lands with someone who trusted the output.
That’s why the work behind these results matters to me. Generating code is getting cheaper. Earning and keeping people’s trust still takes engineering.
AI accelerates implementation. Engineering earns trust.
We tested Bitruvius Spatial Engine against tuned GDAL and terrio: speed, memory, pixels and metadata.
A faster wrong answer is still wrong.

After more than a year of development, we’re finally putting Spatial Engine into the hands of early technology partners.
The performance is exciting. The opportunity to fundamentally change the economics of spatial computing is even bigger.
Imagery is just the beginning. 🚀
🚀 Introducing Bitruvius Spatial Engine.
Up to 9.39× faster than GDAL, with over 90% lower peak memory usage in selected benchmarks.
Less infrastructure. Faster processing. Lower costs.
Limited private beta now open to select partners.

Over a month ago we launched the Bitruvius SDK for MapLibre in public beta.
The ask was simple. Throw real OGC 3D Tiles and OGC I3S at it. Weird CRS. Ugly LiDAR. BIM. Splats. Photogrammetry. The stuff that never makes the launch video.
You did. The feedback has been sharp and generous. And one theme keeps coming back: loading feels turbocharged. Bitruvius optimized codecs have been making a visible difference on real datasets.
Thank you.
Public beta is still open. Keep sending the edge cases.
The Bitruvius SDK for MapLibre GL JS is now in Public Beta.
3D Tiles + I3S, automatically aligned to terrain, with high-performance Rust/WASM codecs underneath.
Free to use.

Big win for the @bitruviusinc team this week.
Grateful we got to do it together.
Bitruvius on the main stage at Step SF.
Finalists at the AWS Builder Loft. Finals at The Midway. Geospatial infrastructure, rebuilt from first principles.
Congrats to Siftr. Respect to HelixPlus.
Thank you Step and the judges.

Bitruvius made the top three at the Step SF Pitch Competition last night at the AWS Builder Loft. Huge shout-out to the team, and a killer pitch from Steve Santovasi.
Today we take the main stage at The Midway in San Francisco.
We’re already building Bitruvius: geospatial infrastructure from first principles, from high-performance spatial computing and next-generation compression to infrastructure built for imagery, 3D, AI, and the systems that increasingly depend on spatial data.
If you’re at Step SF, come find us.

#StepSF #StepSF26 #Geospatial #DeepTech
Bitruvius is heading to San Francisco.
We’ve been selected to showcase at Step SF 2026.
We’ve spent the last several months rebuilding geospatial infrastructure from first principles. Now we get to put what we’ve built in front of founders, technologists, and investors from around the world.
August 26–27. San Francisco.
Let’s build. 🚀

Open standards like OGC 3D Tiles and I3S have given the geospatial community powerful ways to stream and share 3D data. But using that data in an open mapping stack can still mean developers doing a lot of the geospatial engineering themselves.
Coordinate transformations. Vertical references. Terrain alignment. Placement. Streaming. Decoding. Rendering.
We thought developers should be spending that time building their application and creating a great user experience instead.
That’s what we set out to do with the Bitruvius SDK for MapLibre GL JS.
Point MapLibre at your 3D Tiles or I3S data and let the SDK handle much of the complexity underneath.
A lot of engineering went into making that experience possible, including geoids, terrain alignment, integrated meshes, point clouds, BIM, Gaussian splats, WebAssembly, SIMD, GPU rendering, and our optimized codecs.
Credit where it’s due: Cesium’s work bringing 3D Tiles to the OGC community, Esri’s contribution of I3S, and the MapLibre community have created an incredible foundation to build on.
The Bitruvius SDK for MapLibre GL JS is now in Public Beta.
Build with it. Push it. Break it. Let us know.
This is just the beginning.

This is the one.
Bitruvius is heading to @stepconference San Francisco next month as a Startup Spotlight.
We’re tackling the infrastructure gap that every geospatial / 3D / AI team eventually hits: the data formats haven’t kept up with modern hardware and the datasets.
If you’re building or investing in spatial computing, come find us at The Midway (Aug 26–27).
Looking forward to real conversations.

Infrastructure companies rarely make headlines.
Until they’re the reason an entire industry changes.
At Bitruvius, we’re rebuilding the data layer behind geospatial, AI, and massive 3D datasets. Not another application—a foundation that makes everything built on top of it faster, smaller, and more scalable.
STEP San Francisco marks the beginning of an exciting chapter for us as we kick off our fundraising efforts.
If you’re an investor looking for deep technology with global market potential—or a company pushing the limits of imagery, LiDAR, point clouds, or spatial computing—I’d love to connect while we’re there.
Looking forward to some great conversations in San Francisco.
Every AI breakthrough starts with infraBitruvius is rebuilding how massive imagery, LiDAR, point clouds, Gaussian splats, and 3D data are compressed and streamed.
We’re bringing it to STEP San Francisco.
Building what’s next—or investing in it? Let’s talk.

This is the first public look at BVC.
Modern 3D data is getting heavy fast — Gaussian splats, point clouds, reconstruction workflows, digital twins, and browser-native visualization all need a better data layer.
BVC is our native path for that future.
BVC — Bitruvius Volumetric Codec — is our native format for modern 3D data.
Gaussian splats. Point clouds. Reconstruction. Digital twins.
Faster decode. Lower memory pressure. Memory-safe implementation. CPU/GPU optimized paths.

We launched Bitruvius this week and even bigger things to drop in the coming weeks!
Welcome to Bitruvius.
We’re building codec and SDK infrastructure for imagery and 3D data: less to store, less to move, and less hardware to run it on.
Free decoder SDKs start shipping next week. Limited encoder pilots follow.
First principles, engineered.

🚨 Why are the Trumps buying $47M in ETH, wBTC, & more while launching Solana & ETH coins? 🤔
Here’s what it could mean:
1️⃣ Liquidity: They might need ETH & wBTC to create liquidity pools for smooth trading of their coins on DEXs (even if built on Solana, cross-chain assets like wBTC/ETH matter).
2️⃣ Collateral: ETH & wBTC could back their Solana coins or fund growth via DeFi platforms like Aave.
3️⃣ Interoperability: Holding ETH/wBTC connects their Solana coins to Ethereum’s ecosystem, broadening utility.
4️⃣ Partnerships: Buying LINK/AAVE/TRX may suggest integrations with oracles, lending, and cross-chain tools.
5️⃣ Credibility & Market Impact: Large investments in blue-chip assets boost trust, stabilize liquidity, and give them influence.
💡 Even if their coins are built on Solana, this play builds a bridge to Ethereum & DeFi. Strategic? Absolutely.

Why don’t guitar stores want you playing Stairway to Heaven? Because every time someone tries, it only turns “lead” into “dead silence”—and nobody’s found the alchemical formula to turn that solo into gold since 1971! 🎸✨

🤞 @WhiteHouse finally pays for every citizens @Experian accounts. If true this makes the @ATT hack look like child’s play.
