AI made code cheap. Validation is now the constraint.
AI agents have collapsed the cost and timeline for software development, but their performance degrades the further teams stray from web applications. As demand accelerates for new features, new products, and faster release timelines, teams need a reliable way to validate what agents produce.
The companies that keep pace will be those that ground their AI agents in high-fidelity emulation: faithful digital models of real hardware products that let agents develop against true behavior, validate every step, and run pre-flight product tests before anything touches a live system. For any AI-enabled development team, emulation moves from nice-to-have to non-negotiable: the target to build against, the harness to validate against, and the range to test and debug at scale.
This is the new Rift in software development, exacerbated by Rift, our emulation platform. Scalable Cyber provides a cost-efficient way to create a debuggable environment for any target system. If you can write code for it, there is no reason you should not be able to emulate that system on your laptop. Make the Rift even further, and multiply the effectiveness of your AI-agent embedded software team with an emulation of your hardware product.
