In 2024, the AI war will be even hotter and more to watch.
Because it will be preparing to launch a new language model that is better and smarter. Every language model in the world at the beginning of the year.
The language model in question was created by the company. Inflection AI who are working in Stealth mode throughout this year.
Inflection AI ก่อตั้งโดย Mustafa Suleyman The former co-founder of DeepMind, who was famous in the past with an AI named AlphaGo, has played against the world's No. 1 player, Lee Sedol.
Mustafa Suleyman was the main key man of DeepMind at that time.
Mustafa was born in August 1984 and grew up in London.
He graduated from Queen Elizabeth School and went on to study at Mansfield College, University of Oxford.
Mustafa's history is similar to that of many Silicon Valley icons.
Because he had to leave his studies at the age of 19 to co-found the Muslim Youth Support Center in England.
Later in 2010, he co-founded the company. DeepMind and was acquired by Google for more than 650 million dollars because of the technology he has that likes Larry Page very much. Although the company does not even have a clear revenue model.
At that time, Hia Elon Musk One of the shareholders and investors in DeepMind did not agree to sell the company to Google.
Because they are worried about the safety of AI and fear that AI may be a threat to humans. If it is under the leadership of Google, the second founder has the right to Super Vote in the parent company Alphabet that can press the button to set the direction of AI development in any way.
So Elon sold his shares of DeepMind and came out to set up. OpenAI Together with one of the most influential people in Silicon Valley and a teammate. PayPal Mafia manner Peter Thiel (But later Elon exited OpenAI. Sam Altman to take on executive duties until the release of the fastest-growing AI service in history, ChatGPT).
Mustafa has become a major leader of Google DeepMind.
At that time, Google DeepMind was considered the No. 1 in the AI world.
Three-quarters of the world's best AI people work there, with cutting-edge technology systems and unlimited resources.
But DeepMind under Mustafa has not been so smooth. There were frequent conflicts in the team due to Mustafa's mistakes.
Until the day OpenAI released ChatGPT to the outside world, researchers at DeepMind have seen how ChatGPT can challenge and threaten the future of the Google Search Engine. From the idea that no one should be able to overthrow Google Search.
At that time, DeepMind had a brain drain, and the team quit to work with other AI companies that had just been established and supported by large VC groups.
Mustafa decided to quit DeepMind in January 2022 and join. Greylock Partners This is a very famous venture capital in Silicon Valley as a Venture Partner.
Mustafa spends most of his time at Greylock consulting companies in the early stages and investing in interesting startups in the AI space.
So I founded Inflection AI with another PayPal Mafia co-founder named Reid Hoffman who is the founder of Twitter and is also one of the founders of Greylock Partners.
Hoffman himself has many roles. Master of Scale that is famous all over the world and writes. A book called Blizscaling that sells very well as
Inflection AI received $225 million in funding from Greylock Partners in its Series A funding round in May 2022.
Shortly thereafter, Inflection AI shocked everyone by announcing a second round of funding worth $13 billion, with the participation of Bill Gates, Eric Schmidt, and graphics chip and CPU giants NVIDIA.
Inflection AI is getting a lot of attention. After launching a chatbot called Pi, which focuses on talking to people in a friendly, kind, empathetic, and emotional way, it is suitable for being an assistant to people in daily life.

But Mustafa's grand plan is to build the world's largest AI cluster with this funding and build language models that surpass the best AI models available today.
In early 2024, Inflection AI's new LLM model will be launched and available to the public.
People will stop using Google to search for information. After trying out the new AI model from Inflection AI, as Mustafa once said?
Very addictive.
