Jua.ai’s Post

Jua.ai 's mission is focused on achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) through a deep exploration of physics, the universe, and their interaction with the human civilisation. We are initially building the world's largest AI weather forecasting model so far and - to our knowledge - the first truly end to end one. This will help energy companies deal with weather volatility by way of significantly better and faster prediction as well as much more flexible extrapolation of insights.

Jua.ai Raises $16M to Build a Physics-Based AI Model for Predicting Weather and Climate Swiss startup Jua recently closed a $16 million seed round to develop a novel "foundation model" for physics and the natural world. Their first product applies AI and machine learning to better predict weather and climate patterns. Jua aims to ingest satellite imagery, topography, and other data sources into a massive 5 petabyte model that can understand fundamental physics. This allows more accurate weather forecasting to help the energy industry and others plan for climate volatility. But the ambitions extend far beyond just weather prediction. As co-founder Andreas Brenner stated, "We're essentially building a machine model that is learning physics...one of the key pillars for achieving artificial general intelligence." Of course, accurately simulating entire physical systems raises questions around model safety, reliability, and more. But the potential is immense if Jua succeeds in its mission. The funding round was led by 468 Capital and Green Generation Fund. It will be fascinating to see how capable such a physics-based model can become across industries. But the immediate goal is bringing greater resilience and planning capabilities to organizations working in volatile climate conditions. This is definitely a startup I'll be closely following!

Counting the likes of Andreessen Horowitz, Reid Hoffman, Marc Benioff, Radical Ventures and New Enterprise Associates (NEA) as investors, this new "spatial intelligence" startup (WorldLabs) plans to build “large world models,” or LWMs, that use data such as images to generate 3D “worlds” that users can interact with and control... that will be used by professionals such as artists, designers, developers, and engineers. (Oh, and it's already worth over a billion dollars). ----- While current #GenerativeAI is language-based, Fei-Fei Li sees a frontier where systems construct complete worlds with the physics, logic, and rich detail of our physical reality 🔗 Links: https://lnkd.in/eejiry4k https://lnkd.in/e7kfyCAY #artificialintelligence #bigdata #GenAI #technews

Is $6 Billion for xAI the Future of AI Innovation and Competition? Elon Musk’s xAI has just secured $6 billion in Series B funding from top investors like Valor Equity Partners, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz and Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, skyrocketing its valuation to $24 billion. This massive funding round, one of the largest in the AI industry, underscores xAI’s tremendous impact and potential. In a remarkably short time, xAI's valuation jumped from $1.1 billion with its $100 million Series A funding to $24 billion. This rapid infusion of capital highlights the fast-paced growth and strong investor confidence in xAI’s vision. With this fresh capital, xAI aims to bring advanced AI products to market, build cutting-edge infrastructure, including a “Gigafactory of Compute,” and accelerate R&D. So, how fast can xAI challenge the dominance of current leading models from OpenAI or reshape AI innovation? Will xAI’s focus on developing truthful, competent AI systems create a paradigm shift in the industry? With Elon Musk’s vision and this massive financial backing, the future holds many questions. The near future will reveal the answers! #generativeAI #AI #KünstlicheIntelligenz #DigitalTransformation #MaschinellesLernen #Industrie40 #InnovativeLösungen #Zukunftstechnik

A new AI startup, Brightband, founded by ex-Google executive Julian Green, has raised $10 million in its Series A round led by Prelude Ventures. This startup aims to revolutionize weather forecasting by leveraging AI, with a focus on predicting extreme weather events days before traditional forecasts can. Co-founder and professor Amy McGovern highlights their novel approach of using only raw, historical weather data.

I had an amazing discussion with Kobie Fuller,  Brett Gibson, Vanessa Larco on the future of AI and how investors are thinking about the year ahead. Thanks for hosting us Startup Grind! On stage we each talked about our "contrarian AI" view that's not shared by the herd. Kobie: we're going to be able to merge multiple personal AIs into an "AI hive mind" that will bring the best of multiple experts together. Brett: instead of having a bevy of specialized AI agents, we're going to have one "agent to rule them all" that is our daily interface into AI. Vanessa: as AI moves from co-pilot to autonomous agents, today's SaaS pricing models are going to fail; we'll need to invent new "value-based pricing". James: while venture chases large language models used for enterprise productivity, Obvious Ventures is funding "large science models", trained on chemistry, physics, and biology, to generate new scientific breakthroughs from climate tech to bio tech.
