Frontier Computing on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Frontier is first to grow biological brains at scale, serving biological neural nets with substrate-level colocation of memory and compute, enabling highly cost effective training of large parameter count models. While academia has traditionally been limited to ~1M neurons in vitro, Frontier has built a pathway to scale to 100M+ neurons by circumventing traditional scaling challenges in biological culture, demonstrating this strategy's functionality by training a biological brain using this scaling primitive to play Frogger. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "frontier computing is a biocomputing company in Cambridge, UK, growing scalable brain systems — the next-gen hardware layer for biocomputing. backed by Y Combinator (S26)." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Michael Domarkas, Founder/CEO: 19 y/o ex-Cambridge natural scientist prev growing brains in my bedroom now growing exascale brains for continual learning (source)
