Founders once linked to Bezos project pitch AI that models physics, not language
The new type of artificial intelligence model built by Anima Anandkumar and Benedikt Jenik has learned to predict physical phenomena in space and time.
San Francisco – Two researchers, who were once linked to the Jeff Bezos-backed Project Prometheus, have unveiled an artificial intelligence model they claim to have developed independently. The company, Accelerated Understanding, boasts that their AI can process a staggering 5 trillion pieces of data in a single prompt, a feat 5 million times larger than what models from Anthropic and Google can typically handle.
The distinction of this new system, according to co-founders Anima Anandkumar and Benedikt Jenik, lies in its application. Unlike models designed for understanding language, this one is tailored for physics. Speaking ahead of the company's launch, Anandkumar and Jenik explained that the AI models "are not built for understanding language. It is built for physics."
