Problem
Current AI hardware relies on silicon-based processors that consume large amounts of energy and struggle with tasks requiring continuous adaptation, memory integration, and real-time pattern prediction. This limits the efficiency and scalability of training and inference for advanced models such as transformers, computer vision systems, and generative video pipelines.
Solution
TBC’s Algorithm Discovery Platform integrates living neurons cultured on electrodes into compute workflows, translating arbitrary data into electrical signals that biological cells can process. The neurons generate richer, dynamic representations and perform real-time pattern completion, prediction, and adaptive computation with lower energy overhead than conventional silicon. Insights from these biological computations are captured and applied to improve the training efficiency, inference speed, and memory utilization of next‑generation AI models. By iteratively training and studying living neural networks, TBC discovers novel algorithmic principles that can be transferred to software and hardware implementations, advancing AI beyond the transformer paradigm.
