In this video, Andrej Karpathy demonstrates how to build a Generatively Pretrained Transformer (GPT), following the paper "Attention is All You Need" and OpenAI's GPT-2 / GPT-3, and much more. Make sure that you watch at least parts of it!
Inherent emerged from stealth with a $50M seed round co-led by Index Ventures and Radical Ventures to develop Faraday, an AI system designed to reimagine scientific discovery by enabling open-ended human-AI collaboration on unsolved research problems.
XCENA raised $135 million at a $570 million valuation to commercialize its MX1 chip, which places compute capabilities directly inside memory modules to eliminate the costly data relay between CPUs, GPUs, and DRAM that bottlenecks every AI inference request.
Google unveiled Gemini Spark at I/O 2026, a 24/7 AI agent built on Gemini 3.5 that runs continuously on Google Cloud and leverages deep Gmail and Workspace integration to autonomously handle complex tasks on users' behalf. According to Google, a preview rollout to Ultra subscribers begins next week.
General Compute raised $15 million in seed funding to build an AI inference neocloud powered by SambaNova's upcoming SN50 chips, which promise speeds of 600-700 tokens per second—roughly triple that of GPUs—while being air-cooled enough to deploy in existing data centers without new infrastructure.
Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.8, delivering improved honesty, stronger agentic performance, and a new 'Dynamic Workflows' feature for parallel subagent tasks. The company also hinted that its restricted Mythos-class model could reach general availability within weeks.
