Literal Labs

A new generation of AI that is faster, explainable, and orders of magnitude more energy efficient than today’s neural networks.

Literal Labs applies the Tsetlin machine approach to AI that is faster, explainable, and orders of magnitude more energy efficient than today’s neural networks. Tsetlin machine is similar to NNs in that it can perform complex machine learning training, but it is based on propositional logic rather than biology, making it more efficient in terms of computation, speeding up inferencing and less energy intensive. Benchmarking shows it can achieve 250X faster inferencing than XG Boost using software only, and up to 1,000X faster and up to 10,000X less energy consumption when using hardware acceleration. The company was spun out of Newcastle University by world leaders in Tsetlin machine Dr. Alex Yakovlev and Dr. Rishad Shafik, and led by former Arm CPU division VP and semiconductor startup founder Noel Hurley.
