The race to break AI's memory wall

New Capabilities

Lead research institution on monolithic 3D chip development

A team from Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, Penn, and MIT built a true 3D chip stacking memory directly on logic at a U.S. commercial foundry. Presented at December's IEEE electron devices conference, it beats conventional flat chips by 4x in tests and could deliver 1,000x energy efficiency gains in future generations. It uses carbon nanotube transistors and resistive RAM built at low temperatures, creating vertical data highways instead of today's horizontal crawl.

AI crosses the genome design threshold

New Capabilities

Academic partner in Evo development and phage research

Stanford and Arc Institute researchers used an AI called Evo to write genetic code for 302 bacteriophage viruses from scratch. Sixteen of them workedโ€”they replicated, killed bacteria, and some even outperformed the natural virus they were modeled on. It's the first time a machine has successfully designed complete, functional genomes without human guidance on what genes to include or how to arrange them.
