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

Simantic, founded by former firmware engineers from Neuralink and Tesla, is building a simulation layer that lets engineers and AI agents test and validate firmware without physical hardware. The offering includes virtual devboards programmable via a single API call, an AI code reviewer that uses the simulation as a verification engine, and a CI/CD pipeline that validates firmware against a simulated microcontroller on every commit. Users apply it to bare-metal and RTOS development for flight controllers, electric vehicles, robotics, and satellites.
