Lyte
Lyte is a Mountain View, California perception company building an end-to-end integrated vision system for robotics and Physical AI. Founded in 2021 by Alexander Shpunt, Arman Hajati and Yuval Gerson — architects of Apple's depth-sensing and Face ID perception stack, and, in Shpunt's case, co-founder and CTO of PrimeSense — the company emerged from stealth in January 2026 with $107M in aggregate funding from Fidelity Management & Research, Atreides Management, Exor Ventures, Key1 Capital, Avigdor Willenz's group and Venture Tech Alliance. Its flagship product, LyteVision, combines 4D sensing (distance plus velocity), RGB imaging and inertial motion awareness with custom silicon and software into a single plug-and-play perception platform for robots, mobility and next-generation automation; it won a CES 2026 Best of Innovation award in Robotics and was named an honoree in Vehicle Tech and Advanced Mobility. Lyte is collaborating with NVIDIA to stream perception into GPUs over Holoscan Sensor Bridge (zero-copy, Jetson Thor, CUDA, NITROS) and into Omniverse and Isaac Sim for real-time digital twins. Lyte ships hardware and an embedded perception stack rather than a developer platform, and publishes no public API, SDK, developer portal or machine-readable contract as of this profile.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Lyte the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Lyte scores 8.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Why this profile is thin
Lyte ships an embedded robotics perception system (LyteVision hardware plus an on-device stack that streams into NVIDIA Holoscan/Isaac), not a developer platform — its own llms.txt and sitemap enumerate all sixteen pages on lyte.ai and none of them is a developer portal, API reference or docs page, and api./docs./developer./developers./ sdk./portal./status.lyte.ai all fail to resolve (NXDOMAIN).
This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. Lyte does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Lyte
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Lyte. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Lyte, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
