Distributed AI platform running on a custom NVIDIA module embedded in smart meters and data center racks, for sub-second power orchestration.
Utilidata co-developed the Karman platform with NVIDIA and in 2026 renamed the company after it: a GPU module built into grid-edge hardware that gives high-resolution visibility and control on roughly 20-millisecond timescales, rather than the 15-minute intervals typical of AMI. The same platform is being pushed into data center rack power management, where the company claims materially more compute per provisioned watt. Partners and customers include Aclara/Hubbell, Advantech, Southern California Edison and Portland General; the company closed a $100.3M Series C (led by Renown Capital, with NVIDIA and Quanta participating) across 2025-2026.
Renamed from Utilidata in 2026 — the company took the name of its NVIDIA-co-developed platform. utilidata.com now redirects to karman.co.
