About
THRML-HACK convened systems engineers, ML researchers, and hardware architects to prototype at the intersection of statistical mechanics and computer architecture.
Participants implemented projects leveraging Langevin dynamics, Boltzmann sampling, and analog stochastic circuits—building toward compute paradigms that exploit thermal noise rather than fighting it.
Technical Focus
- → Thermodynamic inference accelerators & stochastic ASICs
- → Energy-based models & diffusion architectures
- → Low-power ML at the Landauer limit
- → Probabilistic circuits & analog compute primitives
Winners
Evaluated by expert CTOs, CEOs, ML research scientists, and software engineers
