Elon Musk has officially named Neuralink's first consumer-facing product: Telepathy . In a post early Thursday morning, Musk said the device enables high-speed communication with computers or other humans purely by thinking, and projected that its output bandwidth will eventually exceed the fastest human speech or typing. The announcement formalizes a product identity for the brain-computer interface Neuralink has been quietly implanting in clinical-trial patients since early 2024. ▶ Watch Video on X The post is short but notable for two reasons. First, it anchors a product name - Telepathy - to what has, until now, been described internally and in FDA filings as the N1 implant. Second, Musk made a direct bandwidth claim: within a few years, the device's output will "vastly exceed the fastest human speech or typing." That is a forward-looking projection, not a current benchmark, but it signals where Neuralink wants the narrative to go next. Average human typing tops out around 40 words per minute, with trained stenographers reaching roughly 200. Speech sits near 150 words per minute. Beating those thresholds through decoded neural signals alone would represent a step-change in human-computer interaction - and would place Neuralink well beyond where competing BCI companies have publicly demonstrated. Telepathy runs on Neuralink's N1 implant, which, according to Neuralink's...
