Powerful, Neuroscience-Based AI
Pioneering a new era of AI based on neocortical principles
Accelerating deep learning performance on CPUs
Dramatically reducing power consumption of large AI models
The Thousand Brains Project:
Open-source code release
The Thousand Brains Project is a collaborative, open-source initiative that focuses on developing a new type of artificial intelligence based on our sensorimotor framework for intelligence, the Thousand Brains Theory.
As of November 20, 2024 the code base, Monty, named after neuroscientist Vernon Mountcastle, is available under a permissive MIT license that allows research and commercial use. The project is open to anyone who would like to explore and contribute to the effort of creating sensorimotor AI, and there are many ways to get involved.
Our AI platform technology:
Dramatic speed-ups of LLMs on CPUs
Driven by our mission to understand the brain deeply and apply that understanding to AI, we are redefining what’s possible with today’s AI systems. Through mapping our neuroscience-based advances to CPU architectures, we have developed AI platform technology that accelerates Transformer models (such as BERT and GPT models) on commodity CPUs while drastically reducing power consumption.
