Imbue, an AI research lab formerly known as Generally Intelligent, has raised $200 million in a Series B funding round that values the company at over $1 billion. The funding round was led by Astera Institute, with participation from Nvidia, Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt, and Notion co-founder Simon Last.
Company is focused on building "AI agents" that can reason and code. These agents would be able to accomplish larger goals and safely work for us in the real world. Imbue is training foundation models optimized for reasoning, and aims to release systems that enable anyone to build robust, custom AI agents.
This is a significant development in the field of AI, as it represents a shift away from task-specific AI models towards more general-purpose AI agents. If Imbue is successful, its technology could have a wide range of applications, from automating tasks in the workplace to developing new types of interactive products and services.
I am excited to see how Imbue's technology develops in the coming years. I believe that AI agents that can reason and code have the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work.
