Ilya Sutskever's New Venture

Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI, recently launched a new company called Safe Super Intelligence (SSI) with a focus on creating safe superintelligence AI systems. This venture secured $1 billion in funding at a valuation of $5 billion, backed by prominent investors such as Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia. Unlike major AI players that prioritize profit-driven models, SSI aims to concentrate on research and development with a smaller team based in Palo Alto and Tel Aviv. Their approach challenges conventional scaling laws in AI development, suggesting that progress can be made through alternative methodologies rather than merely increasing data and computational power.
