jeff bezosがflourishの25億ドル規模の脳のコアアルゴリズム探究を支援
jeff bezosが神経AIスタートアップのflourishへの5000万ドルのシード投資を主導した。同社は人間の脳をリバースエンジニアリングしてAIのエネルギーと学習の危機を解決するべく、25億ドルの評価額で資金調達を進めている。
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.
