CODEXIS LAB RESEARCH

Researching what comes after today's AI architectures.

Codexis Lab is interested in practical AI research: improving capability while reducing unnecessary compute, memory, latency, and deployment complexity.

Research themes

  • Efficient language models

  • Coding-focused models

  • Transformer optimization

  • Alternative architectures

  • Hybrid neural architectures

  • Retrieval and external memory

  • Agentic systems

  • Smaller models for practical hardware

Experimental research

Cortexa

Cortexa is a Codexis Lab experimental research project focused on coding-focused AI and efficient language models. Its research explores smaller models, reduced compute and memory requirements, Transformer optimization, and alternative and hybrid architectures. It is not a production-ready product.

The research question

Can coding-focused AI become substantially smaller, more efficient, and easier to run without sacrificing the capabilities developers actually need?

Research methodology

Cortexa is intended to follow an experimental approach.

  • Hypothesis

    Define a specific architectural or system hypothesis.

  • Prototype

    Implement a small experimental model or architecture.

  • Dataset

    Evaluate against appropriate coding and language datasets.

  • Benchmark

    Measure relevant dimensions such as coding capability, accuracy, memory usage, parameter count, inference latency, throughput, training cost, and hardware requirements.

  • Compare

    Compare experimental approaches against appropriate baseline models.

  • Iterate

    Use the results to refine the architecture and define the next experiment.

Research principle

Research should connect to measurable experiments. Hypotheses, datasets, evaluation methods, and results should be documented rather than replaced by unsupported claims. These areas are research directions, not confirmed solutions.
