Alphabet and Nvidia have joined eminent venture capital investors to support the SAPERTLIGELIGE SONURE (SSI), a start-up co-founded by the former OPENAI chief scientist, Ilya Sutskever, who quickly increased to become one of the most precious artificial intelligence start-ups of the months after its launch, a familiar source with the subject.
Funding illustrates a renewal of the interests of major technology and infrastructure suppliers to make strategic investments in start-ups that develop a cutting-edge AI that requires massive quantities of computer power. Alphabet, which has its own AI models, earlier in the week, announced an agreement by its Cloud Computing arm to sell SSI access to tensor processing units (TPU), its internal AI chips.
SSI, which, according to sources, has been recently estimated at 32 billion US dollars in a round led by Greenoaaks, is one of the most prominent start-ups working on research on AI models, thanks to the stellar assessment of Sutskever to predict the next great thing in the development of AI.
Like many of his competitors, he has a huge request for fleas.
Reuters could not determine the exact terms of the investment of Alphabet and Nvidia in SSI. The spokesperson for the three companies refused to comment.
The twin movements of the alphabet corporate and cloud division with high -level AI laboratories, in particular SSI and Anthropic, show the evolutionary material strategy of the technology giant.
