We’ve raised 75m in new funding from Sequoia and Spark Capital—partnering with @sonyatweetybird, @MikowaiA, and @YasminRazavi, all of whom are deeply supportive of our long-term mission. We’ve also brought on angels & advisors including @karpathy, @tszzl, and @_milankovac_. ----- Our early results with FDM-1 moved computer use from a data-constrained regime to a compute-constrained one; this latest round of funding unlocks several orders of magnitude of compute scaling for that work. With the FDM model series we have a path to scale agentic capabilities through video pretraining, and we expect to achieve superhuman performance on general computer tasks in the same way that current language models have superhuman performance on coding tasks. We’re also now able to invest in the blue-sky research necessary to our long term mission of building aligned general learners. To realize the civilizationally transformative impacts of AI, models must generalize far out of their training distributions, actively exploring and building skills in new environments. This capability represents a substantial shift from the current paradigm of model training. We believe that current alignment techniques are insufficient to predictably and safely steer a model with human-level learning capabilities, and so we’re doing work to study small versions of this problem in controlled environments to develop a science of alignment for general learners. We’re a team of 6 people in San Francisco. We’re hiring world-class researchers and engineers to help us achieve our mission. If that’s you, please get in touch.

Launching the Alive Prize. $100K to build what makes you come alive. I've been fixated on a quote from Howard Thurman lately: "Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." We want to help more people find that feeling. https://t.co/LosgT4WWRW

This past weekend was my first HackMIT as co-director, and it really was an incredible experience meeting the ~1500 participants including hackers, judges, mentors, and sponsors who we flew out to our campus for one epic weekend. Huge shoutout to all of our incredible sponsors and volunteers, but above all I am so so so grateful and proud of the entire HackMIT organization team and my insanely cracked and goated co-director @nettedjay. Seeing the fruits of our labor (or labour as janet would say) was super surreal and gratifying, and I can't wait to do it all again (but better) for Blueprint and @HackMIT 26!
