First open-hardware guard circuit that removes power from an ASI cluster in ≤10 ns using physics, not software — the only containment primitive that survives superintelligence.
Why this matters Every existing stop button, encrypted gradient, or human veto fails the moment the system is smarter than its safeguards. IAS moves the final actuator outside the threat model entirely.
Budget breakdown • $80–120k: discrete prototype board + GaN power stage • $20k: red-team bounty payouts + formal verification • $10k: legal/open-hardware licensing + documentationTeam Sean Sheppard (sole founder, shipped full spec day-zero) + inbound hardware engineers from today’s launch.
