I'm proud to share that I'm joining Flapping Airplanes.

We imagine a world where models can think at the level of humans without ingesting half the internet. We estimate that humans acquire skills with 1,000,000x less experience. To build Alan Turing’s teachable machine, we can't merely tweak existing techniques—we need to pursue dramatic departures from legacy wisdom with intentions to 1,000,000x not 10x.

We are not focused on one specific technique or vertical; We have the resources and the will to play the long game. Though not currently trying to commercialize, our work will ultimately unlock enormous value in enterprise settings where learning new skills is key, robotics, trading, scientific discovery, and much more.

Who we are and what we do is out-of-distribution. Our team blends world-class seasoned scientists with younger researchers who are already the best at what they do (our team includes IMO, IOI, IPhO medalists and more).

We are backed by Google Ventures, Sequoia Capital, and Index Ventures with participation from friends at Fundomo, Menlo Ventures, Nova Global, Argo, and more. Our angels and advisors include Chris Re, Andrej Karpathy, Jeff Dean, and others. So far, we have raised $180M.
