A new wave of AI investments in chips, data centers, and energy is redefining the pursuit of generative AI, suggesting that scaling should not merely be about speed but about what is being scaled. A shift in approach could lead to breakthroughs, yet specifics of these innovative strategies remain unclear. Technical debates highlight disagreements on the future of autoregressive models and superintelligence, indicating a significant evolution in AI architecture is on the horizon. Despite skepticism about the viability of investments, a substantial $1 billion raise underscores the strength of the team's vision, emphasizing that strategic direction is crucial in building towards superintelligence, even without concrete products in place.
Former OpenAI founder Ilya Sutskever recently announced his new company Safe Superintelligence. Now he's announced a $1B pre-product raise.
