Professor Amnon Shashua's new artificial intelligence company, doubleAI, has launched its code development engine named Maxwell. The company announced on Sunday that Maxwell is now available for early access to software developers. DoubleAI claims Maxwell is not a standard code generation engine, which typically produces software commands, but rather a "Code Execution Model" (CEM). This CEM reportedly generates commands that interact with hardware and middleware layers, bridging the gap between the user interface and the chip itself.
The startup asserts that Maxwell can offload significant processing tasks from chips, leading to savings in AI computation tokens and expensive graphics processors. This innovation positions Maxwell as a direct competitor to established code generation tools like SpaceX's Cursor, Anthropic's Claude Code, and OpenAI's Codex.
