Luffy Ai secures £8.1m for adaptive edge intelligence software

Luffy Ai Limited has secured an estimated £8.1m in its latest funding round. Based in Thame, the company develops a neuroplastic AI stack designed for embodied control and edge AI applications. This technology enables real-time optimization of physical systems such as drones, industrial drives, and automotive components, specifically targeting OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.

Founded in 2018, the business addresses the need for adaptive intelligence in industrial equipment. Its neuro-evolution technology creates high-speed control systems that learn and adapt to their environments. The company claims its neural networks are over 800 times more computationally efficient than alternative technologies, allowing for deployment in applications that were previously inaccessible to AI approaches.

The current investment is an increase from the £140k raised during 2025. LinkedIn data indicates the firm employs 30 people and maintains a headquarters in Abingdon. Its client base includes companies across the manufacturing, metals, robotics, and speciality materials sectors.

Kate Ronayne joined the board as a director in May. LinkedIn profiles suggest she may be associated with an organization focused on investing in early-stage physical sciences and engineering companies. Documentation for this funding round was filed in May, following the close of the company's latest accounts for the year ended 30 September 2025.
