Agemo, a startup founded by former employees of AI research company Anthropic, has emerged from stealth mode with $88 million in funding to develop AI reasoning software. The company aims to create AI systems that can engage in open-ended reasoning, a capability that current language models like ChatGPT lack. Agemo’s co-founders, Dario Amodei and Paul Christiano, were instrumental in developing Anthropic’s AI model. The funding round was led by Dustin Moskovitz’s firm Dustin Moskovitz’s firm, with participation from other investors like Nat Friedman, Patrick Collison, and Elad Gil. Agemo plans to use the funding to build AI systems that can engage in open-ended reasoning, a key challenge in AI development. The company aims to create AI that can understand and reason about complex topics, rather than just regurgitating information. Agemo’s approach involves developing new machine learning techniques and architectures to enable more flexible and adaptive reasoning capabilities.
