Phew, I can finally share what I've been up to since last summer! We just raised a $23 million seed round!! π I co-founded P-1 AI w/ Paul Eremenko (ex CTO of Airbus, UTC) and Adam Nagel (ex engineering director at Airbus) with a mission to build an engineering AGI for the built world.
Our vision is simple: we want to build an engineering AGI for the real world to help us design airplanes, Dyson Spheres, cars, HVAC systems, etc.
Our system is called Archie.
A big thank you to our VC Radical Ventures for leading our round (they backed up Fei Fei Li's startup and some of the best AI startups out there) as well as our other investors!
Also a huge thank you to our angels Jeff Dean (Google DeepMind), Peter Welinder (VP of Product at OpenAI), and my other friends Bob van Luijt, Luis F Voloch, Waikit Lau, etc. who believed in us! And last but definitely not least the amazing team behind P-1 AI!
We'll be rapidly expanding the size of the team.
Our GPU cluster is humming in the background, join while it has free cycles. :P
I'm hiring for cracked ML research engineers!
Apply: p-1.ai
