Oregon Patent of the Month – March 2025
Eduworks Corporation has received U.S. Patent No. 12,242,503 for a breakthrough system titled “Copilot architecture: network of microservices including specialized machine learning tools.” The innovation boosts AI performance while cutting hardware and energy costs, making large language models (LLMs) easier to deploy.
Smarter AI Through Modular Design
Instead of relying on a single, massive AI model, Eduworks’ approach splits the workload across smaller, specialized microservices. Each handles a task—like data search, embedding, or scoring—creating a flexible and efficient network. This allows the system to deliver powerful results without needing large data centers.
Because the architecture runs on a single GPU and compute node, it’s far more affordable. That opens the door for businesses, schools, and governments with limited tech resources to benefit from AI.
Real-World Impact and Flexibility
The system supports a wide range of LLM uses—from chatbots to training tools. It also allows for human feedback and skill checks, helping the AI improve over time. This makes it well-suited for real-world applications where accuracy and adaptability matter.
With this patent, Eduworks shows how smart design can solve some of AI’s biggest problems. The technology offers a way to scale AI without scaling costs—a win for innovation and access.
