Vorticity

Many pressing problems facing humanity can be solved with faster scientific compute. Currently, it takes billions of dollars to design and develop a new fusion reactor, a hyper-sonic airplane or a new cancer treatment. This is because scientists and engineers have to build very expensive things before they even know if their ideas work. But what if we can simulate the workings of these ideas (and more) on computers first and have high confidence that it works before we build really expensive thi

Similarity graph

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.

Rigetti Computing

match 69

Rigetti Computing is building the world’s most powerful computers to help solve humanity’s most pressing and important problems. These systems will perform computations that today’s fastest supercomputers are incapable of — unlocking entirely new classes of problems and offering a direct path to solutions. We are scientists, engineers, builders, and visionaries. We believe quantum computing is going to significantly affect health care, how we treat disease, how we generate energy, and how we fee

Overview

match 68

Here’s a secret between you and me: even the world’s largest manufacturers, companies like Tesla and Toyota, waste billions of dollars every year making products with quality issues. Building high-quality things at scale is incredibly hard. It doesn’t just happen because you hire smart people or buy good machines. It requires seeing problems early, understanding them deeply, and acting in real time, something factories were never designed to do. At Overview.ai, we’re changing that. We build cust

Thesis

match 64

We are an AI research lab automating AI research. Our aim is to build a hill-climbing machine capable of solving humanity's greatest challenges in science and engineering, uncovering the next AlphaFold or Transformer faster, more systematically, and at scale. We treat discovery not as a matter of luck, but as a combinatorial search problem. Thesis will be the machine behind the defining breakthroughs of the next decade.

Anthrogen

match 52

Proteins power everything from the cells in your body to creating materials you rely on every day—but until now, we’ve been forced to discover their functions by trial and error. Designing a new therapeutic can take decades and billions of dollars, and even our best industrial catalysts work at a snail’s pace compared to their theoretical optimums. Anthrogen is changing that. By training massive AI foundation models on protein sequences and structures, we’ve unlocked the ability to generate—on d

Agentin AI

match 49

At Agentin AI, we build Agents that move data and take actions across enterprise systems, like Salesforce, NetSuite and SAP. These agents are difficult to build because each enterprise heavily customizes their systems but we solved that by training our Agents to learn and adapt from failures, applying reinforcement learning techniques we developed.
