Andy Konwinski, computer scientist and information market and perpecility co-founder, are his personal company on Monday, Put on a lambThe new AI research institute is supported by a $ 100 million collateral.
Fog The AI research laboratory and more is less like a fund who thinks of investments in grants. In addition to Konwinski, Berkeley Professor Dave Patterson (award-winning research is known as Google, vice president of Joelle Pineau (award-winning research, vice president).
Konwinski has been a $ 3 million a year and will have a new AI system laboratorium in UC Berkeley, which has been expensive and the first and the flagship “. This is a new laboratory led by Berkeley’s famous, Ion Stoica, the current director of the Blue Computing Laboratory. Stoica, both in Berkeley’s laboratory system, both and the AI and Python Platform) and the AI large information company is the co-founder of Databricks.
The new AI Systems Laboratory will open in 2027 and will include a number of other well-known researchers, along with Stoica.
In itself Blog Post The announcing the Institute, Konwinski described the mission as “built by computer science and” … We only do not nominate the field, but we direct it to more useful results. “
This is now not directly drilled in Openai, which began as AI research facility and now consumed by a large commercial side. However, other researchers also torn in the pressure of money.
For example, the popular AI researcher period controversial When supporting the establishment of an AI criteria used to open Openai’s new O3 model. Epoch’s founder also launched a start with a controversial mission Replace all human workers with AI agents anywhere.
Like other AI research organizations with commercial ambitions, Konwinski founded the institute between its borders: a commercial corporation as non-profit with the arm.
The study divides two buckets called “slingshot and bears”. Slingshots are for early stage studies that can benefit from grant and hand help. Moonshots are designed for “Long-Horizon Laboratories” solving the level problems such as AI, scientific discovery, civic discussion, health and workforce, workforce and laboratories.
For example, he collaborated with the terminal-loom, and cooperated with the terminal-machine for how many of the AI agents. Used by anthropic.
Something to note, Konwinski’s company Laude is not just a grant writing research institution. He also established the Fund for Profit Enterprise launched in 2024. The Foundation’s co-founder is the son of the former Nea VC Pete. TechCrunch reported in advance, Laude AI Agent Infrastructure has been invested in $ 12 million in the starting arcade. Silently supported other beginnings.
A Laude spokesman tells us that Konwinski invests $ 100 million or other successful technologists. Regarding a wealth to guarantee $ 100 million for this new effort: Databricks closed $ 15.3 billion In January, the company assessed $ 62 billion. Praxisized last month was granted 14 billion dollar estimates.
Is there really a need for another AI “good for humanity” research or non-commercial structure in the world? No and yes.
It was AI research Increasingly confused. For example, the AI criteria designed to prove the best of a certain vendor model were plentiful these days. (Even salesforce Have its own LLM price for CRMS.)
Konwinski, Dean and Stoica can be an union, an alliance, a union, which supports independent research that one day can become independent and human-made trading.
