The world's first server powered by human brain cells has been launched in Singapore.

Cortical Labs assembled a rack of 20 CL1 biocomputers, where 16 million living human neurons were grown from stem cells and placed on an electrode array. The main selling point of the technology is its power consumption. A typical AI server consumes over 100 kW, while a biocomputer server consumes about 1 kW—a hundred times less.

The world's first server powered by human brain cells has been launched in Singapore.

Cortical Labs has created a rack consisting of 20 CL1 biocomputers. These systems contain 16 million living human neurons grown from stem cells, arranged on an electrode array.

A key advantage of this technology is energy efficiency. While a standard AI server consumes over 100 kW, its biocomputer counterpart consumes approximately 1 kW, a hundred times less. This technology is expected to find application in fields such as pharmaceutical development, robotics, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence.
