In January, Aurora Labs decided to switch gears. The Israel-based company, which was founded in 2016 by Zohar Fox and Ori Lederman to provide software tools for automakers, changed course, opting to move its focus to high-performance computing monitoring in vehicles and data centers.
The result is a focus on LOCI, a cutting-edge platform for accelerating automotive software development and efficiency, which the company recently demonstrated at CES in Las Vegas and Automotive World Tokyo. It also gave Fox and Lederman’s seven-year-old company a new sense of purpose, embracing Artificial Intelligence as it continues to change industries across the world.
Unveiled in June 2024, LOCI 2.0 enhances software reliability, quality, and predictive software maintenance across a wide range of platforms–including cloud, mobile applications, HPC, and embedded systems.
"Aurora Labs started this journey seven years ago, using natural language processing (NLP) to understand machine codes. We've reached a significant milestone by incorporating a transformer model, adding proprietary layers, and reinventing tokenizers and vocabulary. This sets the stage for a future where software engineering goes beyond traditional limits, improving capabilities and smoothly integrating with the latest technologies to boost software quality and reliability," said Fox.
The work is paying dividends. In December, LOCI was awarded the Top Innovator Prize by CLEPA, the European Association of Automotive Suppliers based in Brussels, representing over 3,000 companies. Since 1959, CLEPA has been a key voice for automotive suppliers in Europe, and their acknowledgement of Aurora shows that Fox and Lederman are on the right track.
