杰夫·贝索斯斥资 25 亿美元寻找大脑核心算法
杰夫·贝索斯向神经 ai 初创公司 flourish 领投了 5000 万美元种子轮融资，该公司目前估值 25 亿美元，致力于逆向工程人类大脑以解决 ai 的能源和学习危机。
flourish labs secured $50m in seed funding led by jeff bezos to build cortex ai, a synthetic intelligence system designed to match the human brains 20-watt power efficiency and learning capabilities, contrasting sharply with current llms that require gigawatts of energy and static training sets. the company, founded by former amazon executive rob williams and neuroscientist thomas reardon, plans to use wet lab experiments and interdisciplinary teams to discover the brains core algorithm, aiming to solve ais looming power and data bottlenecks. with a total war chest of $500m and a valuation of $2.5b, flourish plans to release intermediate models as products while pursuing a long-term goal of creating a brain-like system that learns continuously on minimal hardware. this signals a significant shift in investor interest toward biologically-inspired architectures that could bypass the diminishing returns of scaling existing transformer models.
