Jeff Bezos Is Funding a Wild Hunt for the Brain\u2019s \u2018Core Algorithm\u2019<\/strong>Steven Levy | Wired ($)<\/p>\n

“The goal, Reardon tells me, is to build ‘a synthetic artificial intelligence brain that runs on 50 watts or less.’ It should adapt to its conditions, be as nimble as a human mind, and burn a tiny fraction of an LLM\u2019s compute power and energy. The proof of concept is thriving inside our skulls.”<\/p>\n
