Improving the performance of software in terms of execution time and memory usage is an important common problem and TurinTech's solution looks very promising.听

鈥淭urinTech鈥檚 state of the art technology is now using AI to improve the way software itself is actually crafted. This represents one of the first steps in the exponential impact that AI can have. In the context of cloud it will materially improve efficiency costs and running speeds.鈥�
