About Parasma
Summary
Parasma trains living human brain cells to perform AI compute tasks, replacing silicon GPUs with biological neurons. Text is converted into electrical stimulation, the neurons process it, and their responses are decoded directly into tokens. The work targets the core inference loop that GPU clusters currently handle.
