doubleAI launches Maxwell, citing a 67% cut in one customer's compute costs

DoubleAI, the startup co-founded by Amnon Shashua and Shai Shalev-Shwartz, launched Maxwell on October 19th, a "code execution model" designed to optimize software while it runs and cut the computing resources it consumes. DoubleAI said Maxwell reduced one early customer's compute costs by 67%, and LTX told The Wall Street Journal that Maxwell doubled its model-inference speed. The results now need to hold across customers' workloads, with a clear way to measure savings and fees, if software optimization backed by formal code verification is to become a paid alternative to buying more compute.

Co-founders Amnon Shashua and Shai Shalev-Shwartz say the system can improve software as it runs. DoubleAI reported a 67% cost cut for one early customer; LTX told the Journal Maxwell doubled its model-inference speed.

Why it matters #

DoubleAI is betting that software optimization backed by formal code verification can become a paid alternative to simply buying more compute. Maxwell's results will need to hold across customers' workloads, with a clear way to measure savings and fees.

Amnon Shashua and Shai Shalev-Shwartz's doubleAI introduced Maxwell on October 19th, according to The Wall Street Journal. The system is what its founders call a "code execution model": AI designed to optimize software while it runs and reduce the computing resources it consumes. DoubleAI said Maxwell cut one early customer's compute costs by 67%.…
