Computer scientists and data bikes and co -founders of harassment, Andy Convenons, announced on Monday that their company, Loud, is setting up a new AI Research Institute, supporting the 100 million pact of his money.
Laud Institute Is the AI ​​research lab low and the maximum fund is to make an investment like a grant. In addition to Konoinski, the Institute’s Board includes Professor Dave Patterson of UC Berkeley (known in connection with award -winning research), Jeff Dean (known as Google Chief Scientist), and Joel Panio (Vice President of Meta Research Meta Research).
Koninski announced the first and “flagship” grant of the Institute for $ 3 million a year for five years, and it will anchor the new AI system lab in UC Berkeley. It is a new lab, led by Berkeley’s famous Berkeley’s famous, Einsteka, the current director of the Sky Computing Lab. Stucca Startup is also the co -founder of the Einscake (an AI and AIA platform) and the AI ​​Big Data Company Data Bikes, from the tech made in the Berkeley’s lab system.
The new AI system is ready to open in the Lab 2027 and will include several other leading researchers, in addition to Stoka.
In that Blog Post Announcing the Institute, Koninsky has described his mission “through computer science researchers and for it … we are there to do the task that not only advocates the field but also leads to more beneficial results.”
It is not necessary to dig directly in the openings, which began as AI research facility and now, allegedly, has been eaten from a huge trading aspect. But other researchers have also been lured by money.
For example, AI’s famous researcher Ehud faced controversy when he revealed that Openai supported the formation of one of his AI Benchmarks, which was then used to unveil its new O3 model. The founder of Epoch also launched a startup with a controversial mission to replace all human workers with AI agents everywhere.
Like other research organizations with AI with trade ambitions, Koninsky has set up its institute within the limits: with an unprecedented corporation corporation operating arm.
He is dividing his research investment into two buckets, called “sling shots and moon shots”. Sling shots are for early -stage research that can benefit from grants and hand -help. Moon shots, as the name, shows, “Long break -related labs to tackle specific challenges such as AII for scientific discovery, urban conversation, health care, and manpower restoration.”
For example, his lab has cooperated with the “Terminal Bench”, for which a benchmark led by Stanford is how AI agents handle the tasks, Used by anthropic.
To note one thing, Koninski’s efforts are not just a grant -writing research institute called “loud”. That too Laid the foundation of a lucrative venture fund Launched in 2024. The co -founder of the fund is former Nea VC Pate Sanseini and a spokesman for a loud tell us that it contains more than 50 leading researchers as LP in the fund. As the Tikkarchch said earlier, the load led the $ 12 million investment in the AI ​​Agent Infrastructure Startup Arcade. It has quietly supported other startups.
A loud spokesperson tells us that when Koninsky has promised 100 million Million, he is also looking and open to invest with other successful technicians. About Koninsky has collected enough fortunate enough to guarantee 100 million Million for this new effort: Data Bikes closed the $ 15.3 billion funding round in January, which gave the company $ 62 billion. The last month’s anxiety saved A billion also cost 14 billion.
Does the world really need another AI “good for humanity” research or with any non -profit/commercial structure? No, and yes.
AI’s research has become rapidly disturbed. For example, the AI ​​Benchmark is designed to prove that a particular vendor model works a lot these days. (Even sales force Is your llm benchmark for CRMS.
A alliance that includes the choice of Convensky, Dan, and Stuya, who really supports free research that can one day turn into free and human support trade.
