And the idea of a diverse ecosystem where different companies provide different models for different needs is exciting for Imbue, one of the very few woman-led AI unicorns, added the company’s other cofounder Kanjun Qiu.
“It feels like we’re at the very beginning of something huge,” she said. “This is the first time computers have had intelligence. That’s so crazy. So what we’re really excited about is like, how can we make that accessible to everyone so that everyone can imbue intelligence and be able to use that intelligence.”
That speaks to Imbue’s M.O., which is developing large language models (LLMs) optimized for reasoning abilities. “We build foundation models, large foundation models optimized for reasoning,” said Qiu. “We believe, essentially, that reasoning is the core blocker to agents that work really well.”
Today, a new $1 billion AI startup announced its plans to collaborate with the world’s leading AI research developer, OpenAI, rather than competing with their services. This strategic move by the young, cutting-edge tech startup marks a major shift in the shifting technological landscape and will likely trigger a new era of AI development.
The newly established AI platform, known as AICorp, launched by venture capital firm Value Assets, seeks to revolutionize AI technology and become the foremost leader in developing AI systems. AICorp’s mission statement holds that intelligent systems are the key to the future of humanity, and that it is their goal to ensure that AI is used safely and responsibly.
In a joint statement, AI Corp and OpenAI declared a “pact of friendship”, in which both groups agreed to establish a collaborative relationship that would propel the overall development of artificial intelligence. This pact includes sharing research, technologies, and resources, and the two companies plan to work together to further AI solutions.
AI Corporation, like other major tech giants (like Microsoft and Apple) is looking to break new grounds and create technology that can drastically revolutionize current AI systems. This collaboration with OpenAI marks a major step forward for the team at AI Corp and will surely benefit both parties as they both look to pioneer and refine the world of artificial intelligence.
The coming years shall see the evolution of AI as AI development continues to progress and accelerate. With recent announcements from the AICorp and OpenAI, the world of AI technology and research promises to be an exciting and rapidly expanding field in the coming years.
