Benchmarks & use cases

Logic-Based Networks versus the AI industry's best.

From energy consumption to speed, Literal Labs' unique, logic-based approach to AI offers key advantages over other AI algorithms. To give you a deeper understanding of performance and capabilities of LBNs, we occasionally publish new benchmarks and details on new use-cases.

01 • use-case • Sewage spills, predicted before they happen • 2025
10yrs
LBN running on a battery-powered IoT sensor

A 14 kB model predicting sewage overflows in 1.74 ms, running on a battery-powered IoT sensor for over a decade without intervention. The neural network alternative couldn't even deploy to the target hardware.
