傑夫·貝索斯斥資 25 億美元尋找大腦核心算法
傑夫·貝索斯向神經 ai 初創公司 flourish 領投了 5000 萬美元種子輪融資，該公司目前估值 25 億美元，致力於逆向工程人類大腦以解決 ai 的能源和學習危機。
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.
