Professor James Whittington and Dr Ruairidh Battleday, cofounders of stealth AI research lab Prefrontal, have unveiled a breakthrough in processing massive datasets. Their latest paper introduces a method that achieves up to 72.4x faster attention-layer processing at 10 million tokens of context, while maintaining comparable accuracy. This innovation addresses a major technical challenge for next-generation AI systems.
The research follows the viral success of Di G-bench, their benchmark for evaluating AI's ability to discover unknown rules through experimentation, which garnered over 1 million views on social media. Together, these publications offer an early look into Prefrontal, a British frontier AI lab operating in stealth. The lab is developing human-inspired AI aimed at accelerating scientific discovery.
