Neocortix Cloud Services
Neocortix is an AI company founded by Dr. Lloyd Watts to address critical issues in Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically explainability and hallucinations. Leveraging 35 years of research in reverse-engineering the human brain, Neocortix has developed Deep Attribution Networks. This technology enables LLMs to explain their reasoning by citing training data, thereby mitigating hallucinations and allowing for proportional royalty allocation to creators whose work is used in training datasets. The company's solutions are designed to tackle "billion-dollar problems" in AI, offering a way to improve the reliability and trustworthiness of LLMs, which major technology companies have struggled to solve. Neocortix has demonstrated working code and filed patent applications for its innovations, with evaluations underway at major technology firms. Gary Marcus, an AI author and entrepreneur, has joined their Technology Advisory Board.
