doubleAI Says Maxwell Runs Data Pipelines 38 Times Faster
Summary
Amnon Shashua's doubleAI releases Maxwell, a Code Execution Model that optimizes software execution on CPUs and GPUs without changing source code. doubleAI says Maxwell mathematically verifies each optimization and claims data pipelines ran more than 38 times faster, figures not independently verified. It raised $200 million and plans to charge based on computing savings.
Key Points
- DoubleAI says Maxwell makes AI inference kernels more than 4.5 times faster, a figure it has not independently verified.
- Maxwell is available for early access through the company's website, according to doubleAI.
- Dell Technologies Capital's Yair Snir says doubleAI is the first model-builder the fund has backed, leading its seed round.
