The "Worm" Approach to Edge AI

Inspired by the biological efficiency of C. elegans, our patented Worm technology compresses AI models by 90% while retaining 95% accuracy—enabling real-time AI on resource-constrained devices.

Nature's Blueprint for Efficient AI

Caenorhabditis elegans, a tiny nematode worm, can perform complex tasks like locomotion, chemotaxis (chemical sensing), and even basic learning—all with just 302 neurons.

In contrast, modern AI models often have billions of parameters, consuming massive computational resources. Our "Worm" approach asks: what if we could achieve similar biological efficiency in AI?

By mimicking nature's optimization strategies, we've developed a multi-stage distillation process that strips away redundant computational pathways while preserving the essential functionality—just like evolution optimized the C. elegans nervous system over millions of years.

Multi-Stage Distillation Process

Our patented three-step approach optimizes AI models for edge deployment without sacrificing accuracy.

1

Knowledge Distillation

A smaller 'student' model learns from a larger 'teacher' model's outputs, transferring learned patterns and retaining 95% of original accuracy.

2

Neural Pruning

Redundant neurons and connections are systematically removed, eliminating computational pathways that don't contribute to core functionality.

3

Quantization

Model weights are converted from 32-bit floating-point to 8-bit integers, dramatically shrinking memory usage without significant accuracy loss.

Key Capabilities

Everything you need for efficient edge AI deployment.

Biologically Inspired

Inspired by Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), a nematode that performs complex tasks like locomotion and chemotaxis with just 302 neurons. Our approach mimics this biological efficiency.

90% Size Reduction
