Embodied, Inc. and aiXplain Collaborate on Breakthrough Interactive Experiences For Children Using AI

State-of-the-Art Technology on aiXplain with the Groq® LPU™ Inference Engine Further Improves Human-Machine Interaction.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, USA, January 10, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Embodied, Inc. and aiXplain have partnered to create a breakthrough interactive and educational user experience for children through advanced artificial intelligence capabilities. Embodied, steadfast in its mission to enhance both the emotional and intellectual quotients (EQ and IQ) of young minds, proudly offers its flagship robot, Moxie. This innovative AI companion not only introduces children to AI in a secure environment using Embodied’s KidFilter™ technology but also redefines the landscape of academic and behavioral support for parents, therapists, and educators. As part of its commitment to rapidly converting ideas into production-ready AI solutions, aiXplain has entered a partnership with Groq^® to ensure real-time inference for the company’s many customers.

At the forefront of human-centric care, Embodied is transforming the sector with its AI companion robot. Moxie, which integrates AI's potency with content developed by leading child development, education, and neuroscience experts, has successfully morphed into both companions for children and supportive resources for parents and educators. The company also recently announced Moxie AI Tutor Mode, enabling personalized education.

aiXplain, with its sophisticated AI development platform, has played a pivotal role in augmenting the capabilities of Embodied’s Moxie Robot. This results in Embodied having options to implement more natural and impactful interactions and experiences. aiXplain provides Embodied with the advanced capability to specialize and host Large Language Models (LLMs), that are optimized to serve the very needs of the Embodied user base, and with various infrastructure options, delivering the necessary quality and speed.

The Groq LPU™ Inference Engine is currently the fastest language processing accelerator on the market. The LPU, or language processing unit, was architected from the ground up to achieve low latency, energy-efficient, and repeatable inference performance at scale when running LLMs and other generative AI applications by Groq, founded by Jonathan Ross, inventor of the Google Tensor Processing Unit (TPU).

"Responsiveness is not just a technical feature; it's the heartbeat of human-like interaction," said Paolo Pirjanian, CEO and Founder of Embodied. "Unlike command-based interfaces used by voice assistants, Moxie engages in dynamic, free-flowing conversations that require swift, intelligent responses. Our partnership with aiXplain is pioneering advancements to ensure that our LLMs deliver fluid and believable interactions, bridging the gap between digital companionship and the intuitive ease of human conversation."

"At aiXplain, we are committed to not only providing high-quality models but also offering versatile hosting options on various hardware infrastructures to ensure top-tier delivery. Specifically, in our collaboration with Embodied, we have enabled the use of a Large Language Model by running it on the Groq Inference Engine, achieving a performance enhancement exceeding 10x compared to current leading technology stacks," states Hassan Sawaf, Founder & CEO of aiXplain.
