Literal Labs is an AI algorithm company that uses logic-based techniques to generate custom AI models, which benchmarking studies have proven to be orders of magnitude faster, more energy-efficient, and more explainable than neural networks.
Its models are for companies that want to replace GPU-heavy algorithms that are too large, expensive and energy-intensive, for companies that operate in a strict social or regulatory market in which explainability of AI is essential, or for companies needing more efficient AI models for battery-based products.
The company was spun out of Newcastle University by world leaders in logic-based AI, Dr. Alex Yakovlev and Dr. Rishad Shafik, and is led by former Arm CPU division VP and semiconductor startup founder,
