Sifted / Financial Times·high signal
A four-month-old stealth lab founded by Richard Socher (ex-Salesforce Chief Scientist) and Tim Rocktäschel (ex-DeepMind) raised $500M+ from GV and NVIDIA at a $4B pre-money valuation, with the round oversubscribed to nearly $1B. The company aims to build AI systems that improve themselves across evaluation, data selection, training, and research direction without human intervention. Approximately 20 employees, no product, no revenue — public launch expected mid-May 2026.
