Launch HN: Simantic (YC F26) – Firmware Simulation for AI Agents

Simantic is a simulation layer for firmware development that allows engineers and AI agents to test and validate firmware without hardware. The founders, Ahnaf and Seungmin, are ex-firmware engineers at Neuralink and Tesla and built the tool after realizing the limitations of existing open-source emulation frameworks like Renode and QEMU. They created a custom simulation engine from scratch in Rust, focusing on accuracy, and validated it against real-world hardware. The tool is available on the cloud and can be integrated with GitHub repos.
