Cortical Labs is working on biological data centers that utilize human brain cells, with the first facility in Melbourne and another under construction in Singapore in partnership with DayOne Data Centers. The Melbourne center will host 120 CL1 units, while Singapore's site plans to deploy up to 1,000 units in phases, starting at Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.

These biological computing units, powered by neurons cultivated from stem cells, promise energy efficiency, consuming less power than conventional AI processors. Although current processing capabilities are limited, the project aims to explore alternatives to traditional silicon chips amid rising global energy demands driven by AI.
