The world’s first commercial programmable biological computer CL1 is launched for rental services: combining human neurons and silicon-based chips, $300 per week

Passionategeekz On June 15, CL1, the “world’s first code-deployable biological computer” under Australian startup Cortical Labs, has officially launched rental services. The chip combines silicon chips with human brain neurons, with a starting price of US$35,000 (the current exchange rate is approximately RMB 252,000).If rented, it is US$300 per week (Passionategeekz Note: the current exchange rate is approximately RMB 2,156)。

According to reports, the biological computer itself is a petri dish containing about 800,000 neurons reprogrammed from adult cells. These neurons survive through an integrated life-sustaining system (which can survive for about 180 days) and use submillisecond electrical signals for communication connections. According to Cortical Labs, this allows the CL1 computer to “process input information in real time and generate output content.”

Cortical Labs also stated thatThe computer consumes about power 850W To 1000W, run without an external computerfar low efficiencyIn traditional AI hardware, it can be used in various scenarios such as drug development, artificial intelligence testing, and disease modeling. However, buyers need to obtain “ethical approval” and operate the equipment in a laboratory environment.
