Lucidity Sciences is the creator of Lumawarp, a machine learning model that beats existing models in both speed and accuracy by using a novel mathematical framework based on partial differential equations and geometric manifold regularization.
The Lucidity Sciences / Talbot West partnership allows us to offer Lumawarp to our clients, and them to offer Talbot West's world-class support and enablement to their clients. Additionally, Dr. Alexandra Pasi is joining the Talbot West advisory board and I'm joining the Lucidity Sciences advisory board. Lexi will contribute her brilliant machine learning and AI expertise to our strategy journey, and I'll contribute my understanding of digital transformation, total organizational integration, and business development to the Lucidity Sciences growth trajectory.
On the AWS TabArena benchmark, Lumawarp outperformed models that took hundreds of hours to train using compute clusters. Lumawarp trained in under an hour on a gaming laptop, delivering 300x faster inference while being 7% more accurate than leading alternatives.
This isn't some incremental improvement, but rather a fundamentally different approach to how machines learn patterns from structured data.
Lucidity Sciences built the engine. These are PhD mathematicians who spent a decade advancing the math behind machine learning to produce the fastest, most accurate, and most generalizable ML model on the market.
Talbot West helps you build the vehicle around it so you can get where you need to go.
We're the orchestration partner that deploys Lumawarp within your existing systems, engineers the optimal solutions architecture around it, and connects it to the workflows and data pipelines that make it operationally useful. We can also complement Lumawarp with other AI and ML capabilities for larger-scale value creation across the enterprise.
As Dr. Alexandra Pasi, CEO of Lucidity Sciences, puts it: "Building the world's best ML model is only part of the challenge. Organizations need guidance on how to deploy it effectively within complex operational environments. Talbot West understands that different tools serve different purposes, and that the most powerful AI solutions often combine multiple approaches. Their commitment to matching technology to business need makes them an ideal partner for bringing Lumawarp to organizations that need enterprise-grade AI infrastructure."
Both Talbot West and Lucidity Sciences see the current AI landscape similarly. Large language models have captured public imagination and boardroom attention, but they're one tool in a much broader toolkit, and a tool with limited efficacy for many use cases, as Dr. Pasi and I discuss in this episode of The Applied AI Podcast. Many of the highest-value enterprise applications require capabilities outside of the core LLM wheelhouse.
Most AI companies start with a technology and go looking for applications. We start with what you're trying to accomplish, then select the technologies that actually get you there. Sometimes that's an LLM. Often it's not. Usually it's several technologies working together.
This shared commitment to matching technology to business need is what makes the partnership work. Lucidity Sciences didn't build Lumawarp to chase trends. They built it because structured data prediction required a better mathematical foundation than existing approaches could offer. Talbot West didn't add AI services to chase trends. We built an AI-native engineering firm because enterprises need partners who understand the full spectrum of what's possible.
Predictive analytics: Credit risk and loan default, patient outcomes and conditions, equipment failure and maintenance, demand and inventory forecasting, customer churn prediction, clinical trial outcome prediction, energy load forecasting, crop yield prediction.
Real-time decision-making: Fraud detection, high-frequency trading, anomaly detection, dynamic pricing, traffic optimization, transaction approval, threat detection.
Edge deployment: Health monitoring, autonomous systems, IoT sensor networks, mobile field diagnostics, remote asset monitoring, vehicle telematics, drone navigation and decision-making.
To formalize the strategic depth of this relationship, both companies have appointed each other's leadership to their advisory boards.
Dr. Pasi is the co-creator of Lumawarp and CEO of Lucidity Sciences, a leading authority on advanced ML approaches to data analytics and prediction. While much of the industry chased trends, she spent over a decade advancing the mathematical foundations of machine learning.
Her presence on our advisory board reinforces our commitment to full-spectrum AI expertise. We want to always be thinking about which technology actually fits the situation, which technology will drive results for our clients.
She advises Talbot West on advanced machine learning applications, emerging AI technologies, and technical strategy for clients requiring precision AI solutions.
My advisory role helps translate Lumawarp's technical innovation into enterprise value. I bring expertise in go-to-market strategy, enterprise positioning, and the integration of advanced ML into complex organizational technology ecosystems.
For Talbot West clients: We now bring Lumawarp into our repertoire, available when your use case demands the accuracy and speed that conventional ML approaches can't deliver.
For Lucidity Sciences clients: You gain access to Talbot West's full-spectrum AI expertise and enterprise architecture methodology. When you have breakthrough technology and need help deploying it effectively within your organization's unique context, we provide the orchestration and engineering that turns capability into outcomes.
