What if everything we assumed about AI and data was wrong? In a world obsessed with collecting more and more sensor data, LightScline has discovered something remarkable: we might only need 10% of it.

Drawing inspiration from the human brain's selective attention mechanism, LightScline co-founders Ankur and Ayush Goel have developed an approach that trains AI models to identify only the most information-rich portions of sensor data streams. The results are staggering—models requiring 400x fewer computational operations while maintaining state-of-the-art accuracy across multiple domains.

This revolutionary approach solves two critical problems facing organizations swimming in sensor data: spiraling infrastructure costs (cloud computing, storage, bandwidth) and mounting human capital expenses, where each additional hour of collected data traditionally requires 40+ hours of analysis. By focusing only on what matters, LightSkline's technology dramatically reduces both.

The real-world impact is already evident. A Fortune 150 company monitoring high-value industrial equipment achieved exceptional accuracy using just 10% of their raw data. Another major software provider saw 381x fewer computational operations and 85x faster training times. Perhaps most impressive is the technology's ability to run on tiny edge devices with as little as 264KB of RAM—enabling applications previously considered impossible on resource-constrained hardware.

This efficiency breakthrough isn't just incremental—it's transformative. It allows entirely new applications in wearables, industrial monitoring, and distributed fiber optic sensing (which can generate terabytes of daily data from monitoring kilometers of fiber cable). By bringing both training and inference to the edge, LightSkline is redefining what's possible in physical intelligence.
