Mirendil 刚融了 2 亿美元，要造能自己加速研发的 AI，团队全是前沿机构出来的，想法挺前沿。
AI 初创公司 Mirendil 宣布完成 2 亿美元种子轮融资，由 a16z 和 Kleiner Perkins 共同领投，NVIDIA 等参投。公司由 Behnam Neyshabur 联合创立，团队 20 人来自 Anthropic、xAI、Google DeepMind 和 OpenAI。Mirendil 提出“自加速 AI”概念，让 AI 像科学家一样在特定领域积累深度专业知识，从而加速自身研发进程，并计划将这一能力开放给更多科研机构和企业。

Mirendil Co-Founder and CEO Behnam Neyshabur explains the path to self-accelerating AI: " When you think about what does a scientist or an engineer do, the main skill they have is get very deep in a domain... and build a very sharp expertise that accumulates over time." "As you kind of become expert in a domain, your expertise is becoming sharper and sharper in something that has a tiny bit of volume in the whole set of all possible things you could be working on." "And getting to that point, being able to get there is a capability that is needed to advance all areas of science." "What that view means is that you have to work on what does it take to direct a system toward like a particular angle and make fast improvement, and that's the self-accelerating AI technology." @bneyshabur @MirendilAI Your browser does not support the video tag. 🔗 View on Twitter Behnam Neyshabur @bneyshabur Today, I’m excited to formally announce @MirendilAI with my amazing co-founders Harsh Mehta, Shayan Salehian, and Tara Rezaei! We’re fortunate to work with @a16z and @kleinerperkins , who led our seed round of $200M, followed by a major investment from NVIDIA, among others. Mirendil exists to accelerate science and technology, and through them, to help solve humanity's most pressing problems. Self-accelerating AI R&D is the most direct path to delivering on AI's broader promise, which is why we believe the most important application of AI is AI itself. Get this loop right, and it compounds. It fundamentally changes the rate of progress itself across all domains. We believe this capability should be democratized. It should be used to power all scientific efforts trying to innovate at the frontier. There are far more important problems—and broader ones—than any single lab can take on, so more groups should be able to pursue them. This pulls concentration of power away from a few labs: businesses and science labs can own their AI and infrastructure, keep their margins, and control their own destiny instead of ceding it all to a single AI lab. We’re a small team with a singular focus. Our founding team consists of 20 researchers and engineers from frontier institutions including Anthropic, xAI, Google DeepMind, and OpenAI, united by a passion for science and a drive to build the technologies that move it faster. If you want to build the system that builds systems, join us! @HarshMeh1a , @shayan_ , @tararezaeikh 🔗 View Quoted Tweet 💬 3 🔄 6 ❤️ 35 👀 11346 📊 6 ⚡
