Pathway to Deliver New Class of Adaptive and Continuously Learning AI Systems with AWS and NVIDIA Technologies

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 1, 2025--

Pathway, the data company building live AI that thinks in real-time like humans do, today announced that its groundbreaking post-Transformer BDH (Dragon Hatchling) architecture now runs on NVIDIA AI infrastructure and AWS’s cloud and AI tech stack, enabling a new class of adaptive and continuously learning AI systems.

This initiative enables new capabilities transformers do not deliver. Traditional Transformer-based LLMs have grown the market for AI significantly but deliver the same capabilities. Through its brain-like architecture, BDH unlocks continuous learning, allowing models to evolve with business operations rather than remaining static, as well as having greater efficiency and full observability into a model’s live state.

"The AI market has been growing along a single axis — larger context windows, more parameters, more data. But enterprises need AI that doesn't just process more data, but rather evolves with their business," said Zuzanna Stamirowska, CEO and co-founder of Pathway. "Our integration of NVIDIA and AWS technologies represents a fundamental shift from static to adaptive intelligence, opening entirely new categories of complex applications that were previously out of reach for enterprise customers."​

While today’s Transformer-based AI models maintain consistent knowledge states, BDH's biologically inspired architecture offers a complementary approach. Its scale-free network design enables continuous learning through dynamic state management and Hebbian synaptic plasticity — allowing models to adjust their internal representations as new evidence arrives, creating opportunities for applications requiring adaptive intelligence over time.

The model is uniquely designed for enterprises from day one and is built for new use cases like those requiring complex thinking, low latency or high observability.

The collaboration leverages AWS as Pathway's preferred cloud provider, providing the compute infrastructure necessary to deploy BDH's adaptive architecture at enterprise scale. NVIDIA Hopper architecture creates an optimal environment for workloads requiring both high-performance, low latency and continuous model adaptation.

"Enabling innovators to bring new technologies to market is exactly what AWS was created to do," said Jason Bennett, VP and Global Head of Startups and Venture Capital at AWS. "We're excited to partner with Pathway to build AI frameworks that help our customers develop entirely new categories of continuously learning AI applications."

Technical Foundation

BDH challenges assumptions that have guided deep learning for over a decade. Conventional wisdom held that as models grew larger, they would become less interpretable. BDH-GPU suggests the opposite: scale can bring clarity through neuron specialization.

By bridging the gap between machine learning and neuroscience, Pathway’s BDH offers a framework where scale and interpretability grow in tandem.

BDH also achieves competitive performance on general-purpose hardware while demonstrating potential for significantly faster inference on specialized AI processors—creating opportunities to reduce both latency and operational costs for enterprise deployments.

BDH is available through AWS, with initial design partnerships launching in late 2025. The architecture will be showcased at AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas, December 1-5, 2025.

About Pathway

Pathway is shaking the foundations of artificial intelligence by introducing the world’s first post-transformer model that adapts and thinks just like humans.

Pathway’s breakthrough architecture outperforms Transformer and provides the enterprise with full visibility into how the model works. Combining the foundational model with the fastest data processing engine on the market, Pathway enables enterprises to move beyond incremental optimization and toward truly contextualized, experience-driven intelligence. The company is trusted by organizations such as NATO, La Poste, and Formula 1 racing teams.

Pathway is led by co-founder & CEO Zuzanna Stamirowska, a complexity scientist who created a team consisting of AI pioneers, including CTO Jan Chorowski who was the first person to apply Attention to speech and worked with Nobel laureate Goeff Hinton at Google Brain, as well as CSO Adrian Kosowski, a leading computer scientist and quantum physicist who obtained his PhD at the age of 20.

The company is backed by leading investors and advisors, including Lukasz Kaiser, co-author of the Transformer (“the T” in ChatGPT) and a key researcher behind OpenAI’s reasoning models. Pathway is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.
