Investigating alternative computational foundations for intelligence.

We explore whether fundamentally different computational architectures can achieve sophisticated reasoning and learning capabilities while requiring substantially lower computational resources, memory bandwidth, and energy consumption than current approaches.

Research principles.

Our research methodology emphasizes rigorous investigation and empirical validation of computational efficiency improvements.

Question architectural assumptions

We examine whether current dominant approaches represent fundamental requirements for intelligence or reflect constraints of existing technological paradigms that may be overcome through alternative designs.

Distinguish preparation from execution

Training and inference present distinct optimization challenges. We investigate whether accepting greater computational investment during preparation enables substantially more efficient execution.

Measure computational costs precisely

Architectural evaluations require rigorous quantification of computational operations, memory access patterns, bandwidth requirements, and energy consumption across complete system lifecycles.

Maintain capability requirements

Efficiency improvements must preserve reasoning quality, generalization ability, and system reliability. Resource reduction that compromises these capabilities does not represent meaningful progress.

Validate through implementation

Theoretical proposals require empirical verification through implementation and measurement against concrete performance criteria including computational cost and capability preservation.
