Singapore Invests in Bio-Computing The city-state of Singapore has taken an interest in the bio-computer CL1, to the point of building data centers around these computers. Each computational unit of the CL1 contains around 200,000 neurons grown from reprogrammed stem cells. These neurons sit on a microchip with electrodes and exchange electrical impulses with the computer, converting biological activity into computational power. The bio-computers are literally fed like living organisms, with a sugar solution, microelements, and a buffer to maintain pH, as well as a gas supply system providing oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen, every three days. The energy consumption is almost negligible, at 30 W per unit, less than that of a pocket calculator. For comparison, a server with eight Nvidia H100 chips consumes around 10,200 W. In a country where data centers already account for 7% of the total energy consumption, this is not just an innovation, but a strategic move. Currently, the Singapore center has 20 CL1 units installed, but plans to expand to 1,000 after testing safety and energy efficiency. A similar facility in Melbourne is already operational, with 120 CL1 units and twenty clients, including universities and corporate laboratories, which pay around US$ 2,200 per month for access to the biological computing resource. This is almost half the cost of renting a top-of-the-line AI chip in the cloud. It's worth noting that these bio-computers do not compete with silicon in terms of speed and accuracy, and will not replace ChatGPT or supercomputers. Their strength lies in learning from small data and adapting to unpredictable conditions, as described in Nature Aging, July 2026. 🔗 Source: @solid_state_humanity
