Lucid
We are building universe simulations powered by interactive video models. We train video models that simulate hyper-realistic environments with immersive control, replacing hard-coded game or physics engines with dynamic neural networks. We built the fastest action-conditioned diffusion video model (running at 20+fps on a 4090 gaming gpu) to simulate minecraft. It is 5x faster than other minecraft World Models and was trained with 100x less resources. Our unique insight was relying on aggressive

sourceLucid is classified as AI infrastructure from source descriptions and fund-directory context. Similar companies below are ranked from offline product facets and meaningful description overlap; category and source affiliation can only strengthen an existing product match. For lookup-created rows, the profile starts as pending enrichment until deeper source collection runs.
Local clusters rerank extracted product concepts and description terms. The generated graph remains the fallback for sparse descriptions: offline reciprocal product-similarity graph: extracted concepts + description terms + bounded category/affiliation boosts. Minimum fallback score: 0; max competitors: 6.

Rain Neuromorphics
match 72At Rain Neuromorphics, we envision a future where every device possesses a dynamic and continuously learning AI brain. Neural Networks are the most powerful engines behind today's AI, but simulations require massive amounts of power and time to learn all of the synaptic connections. As opposed to a simulation, our neuromorphic hardware is a physical artificial neural network, composed of spiking neurons and physical synapses. We combine unique electroceramic materials, nanofabrication techniques

NuCypher (aka Threshold Network)
match 45NuCypher is one of two founding teams of the Threshold Network, which hosts tBTC, TACo, Random Beacon & tUSD. Since 2017, NuCypher has pioneered cryptographic primitives for end-to-end encrypted data sharing, including Proxy Re-Encryption and Threshold Access Control (TACo), novel cryptoeconomic mechanisms (e.g. Stable Yield). and original network/governance architectures (including a historic on-chain merger). TACo, our flagship product, is running on over 120 nodes with ~$80m of associated eco

DigitalCarbon
match 44Digitalcarbon transforms ordinary images and videos into interactive, photorealistic 3D environments. Our technology can take photos from any device and render 3D scenes at more than 100 frames per second on everyday devices. The founders were the first and second hires at a previous YC company AssemblyAI, and have more than 8 years of experience building AI models. Creating immersive 3D experiences typically requires complex equipment and suffers from slow rendering speeds. This has limited the
