A senior researcher in Deepmind who worked in Robotics and AI left Google to create his own robotic boot, called Generalized AIAnd she has already received investments from Nvidia, TechCrunch has learned.
Pit Florence reported as a co -founder and chief executive of Generalist AI in a team at the NVIDIA GTC conference in San Jose yesterday. The table was for Nvidia’s portfolio companies, Nentures.
Nvidures has become a very active business capital business, as Nvidia has enjoyed the success of financial success in this new AI era.
“We are largely in secret,” Florence told TechCrunch, explaining that the launch mission is “to make the general use robots a reality”.
Florence left Deepmind a year ago, according to LinkedIn’s profile. Student researcher Deepmind Kamyar Ghasemipour has also joined Generalist AI as a founding member of the technical staff, according to Ghasemipour’s Linkedin.
Florence participates in a series of other Deepmind alums that have founded their own companies such as stand -alone coding start Reflection aiBiotech Startup Latent Labs, Mistral and more.
In addition to Deepmind, but still in the alphabet, the main leaders behind Google’s viral Notebooklm product let their own AI start at the end of last year.
Deepmind has its own robotics department, which revealed new AI models for robot control this month. The work co -existed by Florence is reported four times on the paper announcing the models.
Florence said it could not clarify exactly what its start during the GTC table, but it is clear that it would focus on robotics.
“We are dead to make robots that can do absolutely nothing,” Florence said in response to a question about what people would look like if their starting was a savage successful.
“So imagine a world where the marginal cost of physical work is driven to zero.”
Nvidia refused to comment. Google did not respond to a request for comments.
