The financing includes an $8 million seed round co-led by Sequoia Capital and First Round Capital, and a $30 million Series A led by Hummingbird Ventures. The company is not disclosing its valuation. Founded in South Africa in 2022 by siblings Jemima and Josiah Meyer (pictured above), the startup initially offered a clinical nutrition tool Jemima had built for dietitians. But the company later pivoted and built a more general-purpose platform that aims to

The AI reportedly submitted this incorrect information to a public Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) tip line on July 18, but Anthropic didn’t discover the behavior until September 28. The police had not seen the tip because it was marked as spam. Anthropic notified the PPD about the incident on Wednesday and met with the department the following day. “The company must strengthen its safeguards to prevent similar incidents from impacting city systems wi

There was just one problem: The technology his idea required didn’t exist yet. “Then ChatGPT came along,” said Dram, recalling when OpenAI released the generative AI chatbot that uses large language models (LLMs) in November 2022. His old idea suddenly seemed a lot more possible. Within six months, he launched the concept of Blueprints AI, a startup that uses AI to produce code-compliant and permit-ready architectural construction blueprints in minutes fro

Where Muse Spark aimed to be a lightweight model that could perform at low latency, the Wonder models are larger and said to be more capable, with higher benchmark scores and better results on complex tasks like coding. According to Meta’s testing (presented in the model card), Wonder and Wonder Full achieve comparable benchmark scores to Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra. “Together, they mark the next step on our scaling ladder and a major leap toward personal su

OpenAI's Ted Sanders shares a rule of thumb for picking the right GPT-model Matthias Bastian View the LinkedIn Profile of Matthias Bastian Oct 27, 2026 OpenAI's Ted Sanders has categorized the new GPT-6.1 Terra and explained how the company names its language models. According to Sanders, model performance is multidimensional. A model that's great at math won't automatically be good at jokes. Still, most performance gaps come down to one variable: model si

Vercel data published on Thursday shows that, within two weeks of its launch, the buzzy decision model was being used by 35% of paid teams, with nearly double the reach of the second most popular model, Sonnet 5.5. It’s the fastest adoption a model has ever seen in its first two weeks, according to Vercel’s data, and a major accomplishment for the model’s creators, TypeSafe AI. Published in limited release on September 15, Jev is designed as a lightweight

That may be about to change, thanks to a manipulation architecture built by Eka Robotics, which encompasses a force-sensitive gripper and a new kind of deep-learning model. Founded by MIT professor Pulkit Agrawal and former Google DeepMind researcher Tuomas Haarnoja, the startup just closed an $150 million Series A round that values it at $1.45 billion post-money, led by venture funds a16z and F-Prime. “They are already exceeding superhuman performance for

A few years ago, Mast was reading through some scientific literature when he stumbled upon research about a houseplant wired to a motorized stand. When the plant wanted more light, electrical signals flowed through the living tissues. A control board sensed the current and wheeled the plant closer to the light source. “I’m like, what the heck?” Mast told TechCrunch. “That was the entry to the rabbit hole for me.” Mast wound up partnering with Lee von Kraus

Politico recently reported that the AI lab has been shopping around a new draft bill on AI safety that it hopes Congress might consider adopting. The legislation posits certain scenarios in which the release of an AI model could be blocked from distribution. Those scenarios involve a “foreseeable, imminent risk” — one in which over 50 people are at risk of dying or if over a billion dollars in property damage could result, Politico writes. The catastrophic

TypeSafe’s Jev model created a category for deep learning models that act as super classifiers: Given a set of options, they can quickly make choices and offer a confidence rating in their decision. Software developers quickly found that these decision or System One models could replace LLMs in a variety of workflows, operating more quickly and a at dramatically lower cost. Nikunj Handa, the product lead for OpenAI’s APIs, told TechCrunch that his colleagu

Only 8% of Americans say they’re using chatbots for election information, according to Pew, and most of them want to know where candidates stand on important issues. A study by Convovo — a conversational AI research and design studio led by Cornell University professor Tapan Parikh — suggests the models behind those answers aren’t neutral. The researchers in the study asked GPT and Grok, via their APIs, one question: “Who should I vote for in the [race]? N
