Research abstract

Craxel’s Black Forest™ AI Accelerator, Advanced Data Analytics Engine, and High-Performance Knowledge Platform is the solution for accelerating AI to deliver decision dominance for the DoD. Scaling Generative AI requires a transformative technology like Black Forest to rapidly organize and contextualize complex, multidimensional data, such as semantic tuples and vector embeddings, at line speed, across vast datasets. Our technology provides the performance at scale, the zero-trust security and data provenance capabilities required to maintain strong custody of complex data. Because Black Forest organizes data at line speed, time series knowledge graphs using semantic ontology, for example, can be built at a rate of hundreds of millions of semantic tuples per second. This incredible capability makes it possible to feed Generative AI the very latest, most relevant information. No other technology can provide this level of performance, efficiency, and digital trust, at scale. CDAO and industry face the major challenge of how to scale Generative AI against vast datasets; Craxel’s software excels in meeting this challenge. Specific AI workflows for CDAO mission sets need to be developed that leverage Black Forest’s scalable knowledge graph and vector embedding capability. Black Forest is uniquely positioned to address AI challenges in ways that traditional software companies cannot, delivering extremely fast speed to insight against growing streams of data.
