Astera Institute, a research services company, NVIDIA, a multinational technology company, Kyle Vogt, a Cruise CEO, and Simon Last, a Notion Co-Founder, completed the $200m Series B round in Imbue, a developer of AI systems. "This latest funding will accelerate our development of AI systems that can reason and code, so they can help us accomplish larger goals in the world. Our goal remains the same: to build practical AI agents that can accomplish larger goals and safely work for us in the real world. To do this, we train foundation models optimized for reasoning. Today, we apply our models to develop agents that we can find useful internally, starting with agents that code. Ultimately, we hope to release systems that enable anyone to build robust, custom AI agents that put the productive power of AI at everyone’s fingertips," Imbue.
