Promises and expectations can use a fortune. It is the only thing that justifies that a startup of which nothing is known It is worth good 32,000 million dollars. That is more than eBay, Endesa or Hyundai, but with the difference that these companies have been working for years and even decades to achieve that figure.
But we are in the AI era, and here, we insist, promises and expectations are worth a lot. There is not much more than right now it seems to offer Safe Superintelligence (SSI), the startup of Ia co -founded by Ilya Sutskever, who was already confused of OpenAi and abandoned his ranks less than a year ago.
According to Financial TimesSutskever has managed to lift a financing round of 2,000 million dollars for its startup, which makes the assessment of the same ascend to those mentioned 32,000 million dollars. The figure is also surprising because the economic moment we live, with tariffs threatening everything, precisely raises an important brake on investment.
In September SSI He already lifted $ 1 billion and that made its valuation out of 5,000 million. That figure has multiplied by six, which seems to make it clear that they have something striking in hand.
In An interview Last year Sutksver raised an AI with “nuclear safety”clarifying that “no matter how safe we mean as when we talk about nuclear safety, as opposed to safe when we talk about” trust and security “”.
In a later interview in September this engineer and entrepreneur indicated that he and his team had “identified a new mountain to climb and that it is something different from what I previously worked on.”
Sources close to SSI have indicated that the company works in very special ways to develop and climb AI models. If true The milestone would certainly be intriguingespecially now that it is criticized that climbing – more gpus and more data to train AI models— It no longer provides such striking improvements.
Be that as it may, the former OpenAi employees are apparently very well after having left the company. We have another example in Look Muratiwhich has also launched a call startup Thinking Machines Lab. He is also working to raise an important investment round … and also does it without having any product to show. So are these times.
