Liquid Instruments launches AI platform
AI creates application-specific test instruments
Liquid Instruments has introduced GenInst Studio, an AI-based development environment that generates customized test instruments from natural language prompts.
The software combines agentic AI with the company's reconfigurable Moku hardware, enabling engineers to create and deploy application-specific instruments without FPGA programming.
According to Liquid Instruments, the platform guides users through the complete workflow, from defining instrument specifications to validation and deployment. The resulting instruments are designed to run with real-time performance and low latency on Moku hardware.
From months of development to minutes
GenInst Studio is intended for engineers and researchers whose measurement tasks cannot be covered by standard instruments but who lack the resources or expertise for FPGA development. The platform supports functions such as hardware-accelerated digital signal processing, custom triggering, control algorithms and adaptive signal generation.
Liquid Instruments says the AI-assisted workflow reduces development times from months to minutes by automating the creation of application-specific instruments.
Backed by recent funding round
The launch follows the company's US$50 million Series C funding round, co-led by Keysight Technologies and Australia's National Reconstruction Fund Corporation. Liquid Instruments plans to use the investment to accelerate the development of AI-enabled test solutions.
According to the company, its Moku platform is already used by organizations including NASA, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Stanford University and defense contractors.
Available for Moku users
GenInst Studio is available immediately for users of the Moku platform. Early adopters report significantly shorter development cycles for applications that previously required extensive FPGA expertise, according to Liquid Instruments.
