Gary Brecka’s The Ultimate Brew opens online orders nationwide after its Sprouts exclusive

Published

on

By

MIAMI, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Ultimate Brew, the organic mold-free coffee from human biologist Gary Brecka, is now available to order online nationwide at theultimatebrew.com. It follows a three-week exclusive at Sprouts Farmers Market, where the coffee led The Ultimate Human endcap in stores across the country from October 7.

Price is $27.99, with subscription, $25.19 per bag. The three roasts will remain at Sprouts until the current lot sells out.

Tested, lot by lot

A 2024 systematic review of 40 studies worldwide covered 3,256 coffee samples. Ochratoxin A, a toxin produced by mold, was found in 1,778 of them, or 54.6%.[1] It can have no smell. No taste. No visible sign.

Every lot of The Ultimate Brew goes to an independent third-party laboratory and is tested for mycotoxins, pesticides, glyphosate and heavy metals. In the launch lot, mycotoxins and heavy metals came back not detected with pesticides and glyphosate below the laboratory’s reporting limits. A QR code on every bag opens the lab report for that lot.

“Clean should be a claim you can verify. That’s why we test every lot,” said Gary Brecka, founder of The Ultimate Human.

Gary spent more than 20 years analyzing mortality data for the life insurance industry and hosts The Ultimate Human podcast. Mold is personal for him. Hurricanes flooded two homes he and his wife own in Naples, Florida, twice, and the family found mold in their home’s HVAC coils.

He built the coffee after realizing he had never tested the first thing he drinks every morning. “Eventually I realized the coffee I was looking for was the coffee I was going to have to create,” he said on the podcast.

The coffee is released in finite lots. “I’m not sacrificing the standard to keep the shelf full,” Gary said.

The coffee

Three 12 oz whole-bean roasts: Medium, Dark and Espresso. USDA Organic, 100% Arabica, single-origin from Tolima, Colombia, grown at 1,500 to 1,850 meters, washed, and roasted in Miami by La Per’la Coffee Roasters.

By

Next-generation accelerator delivers up to 10× more peak AI compute and nearly 10× more on-chip memory within the same low-power envelope as MX3

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MemryX AI, a fabless semiconductor company developing highly efficient and scalable AI inference solutions, today unveiled MX3+, its next-generation AI accelerator designed to support larger, more complex models across edge devices, industrial systems, and high-density inference infrastructure.

Building on the production-proven MX3 dataflow architecture, MX3+ is designed to deliver up to 10 times more peak AI compute and nearly 10 times more on-chip memory while remaining within the same low-power operating envelope as MX3. These advancements will broaden the range and complexity of AI workloads MemryX AI can address, including higher-resolution vision, transformer-based models, small language models, vision-language-action models (VLAs), hybrid architectures, and more sophisticated multi-model AI pipelines.

MX3+ will retain the scalable, multi-chip approach established with MX3, allowing multiple accelerators to operate as a unified logical device. Planned configurations will scale from a single accelerator to 16-chip systems capable of delivering more than one peta-operation per second of peak AI compute.

“MX3+ represents a major generational step for MemryX AI—not simply a faster chip, but a platform designed to bring more capable AI into real-world systems while significantly lowering total cost of ownership for high-density edge deployments,” said Ross Jatou, President and CEO of MemryX AI. “Customers will be able to use the same architectural foundation across embedded devices, industrial systems, and high-density inference infrastructure, giving them a seamless, highly scalable path to transition complex workloads from development straight to volume production.”

Designed to Scale Beyond 1 POPS

MemryX AI’s distributed dataflow architecture enables multiple accelerators to work together without requiring the host processor to manage individual chips. The MemryX Neural Compiler automatically maps neural networks across the available accelerators, allowing developers to scale performance without manually partitioning their models.

A 16-chip MX3+ configuration is designed to deliver more than 1 POPS of peak AI compute and 2.16 GB of distributed on-chip memory, supporting deployments ranging from embedded systems to high-density inference infrastructure.

Built for More Advanced AI Workloads

The expanded AI capabilities position MX3+ to address increasingly complex applications across industrial automation, robotics, intelligent transportation, smart infrastructure, video management systems, healthcare devices, retail, and consumer electronics.

Building on MemryX AI’s near-memory dataflow architecture, MX3+ combines substantially increased on-chip memory with a pipelined approach that keeps model data close to computation, minimizing data movement. This architecture is designed to support larger models and higher-resolution inputs while maintaining efficient, predictable, low-latency inference at a batch size of one.

MX3+ is also being designed to carry forward the ease of development established with MX3, providing developers with a familiar, straightforward experience for compiling and deploying AI applications, even as model complexity and system scale increase.

Beyond its performance and memory improvements, MX3+ represents an important step in MemryX AI’s long-term architecture roadmap. It preserves the modularity, scalability, and distributed dataflow principles established with MX3 while introducing new capabilities that will carry forward into MX4, the company’s future platform targeting advanced multimodal and large language model inference.

Availability

MX3+ engineering samples are targeted for late 2027, with volume production targeted for mid-2028. Additional product specifications, system configurations, and availability information will be announced as development progresses.

MemryX AI is currently accepting early-access requests from select strategic partners and enterprise customers interested in co-validating pre-production hardware and software platforms. To request access or schedule an executive briefing, contact sales@memryx.com.
