The AI founders who walked away from Bezos-backed Prometheus to model the universe
The difference is that this new system is not built for understanding language. It is built for physics, said co-founders Anima Anandkumar and Benedikt Jenik, in an exclusive interview ahead of Tuesday's corporate launch.
Two AI researchers, Anima Anandkumar and Benedikt Jenik, left the Amazon-backed Project Prometheus to create their own AI model. They developed a groundbreaking system called Accelerated Understanding Inc, capable of handling an unprecedented 5 trillion pieces of data in a single prompt - 5 million times more than other leading AI models.
Unlike language-focused AI like ChatGPT, this system is designed to understand and predict physical phenomena in space and time. The duo, who previously worked at Amazon and Nvidia, believe their approach, based on neural operators, will be more universally applicable, benefiting industries from chip design to robotics, weather prediction and energy exploration.
