Goldman Sachs is out with its near-term forex outlook
Investing.com -- Reflection AI, a startup founded by former Google DeepMind researchers Misha Laskin and Ioannis Antonoglou, has secured $130 million in funding. The company is focused on developing superintelligent autonomous systems, starting with autonomous coding.
Laskin and Antonoglou, who were instrumental in leading reinforcement learning for Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc.’s AI unit’s model, Gemini, have now turned their attention to building coding agents that can operate independently. The duo believes that solving autonomous coding will pave the way for broader superintelligence.
In a statement on X, Laskin outlined the three defining aspects of Reflection AI: a team experienced in creating advanced RL and LLM systems, a commitment to building the best autonomous coding systems globally, and an equal focus on research and product. He emphasized that superintelligence cannot be developed in isolation.
Reflection AI has been operating under the radar until now, announcing its new funding. The funding comprises a $25 million seed funding round led by Sequoia Capital and CRV, and a $105 million Series A round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and CRV.
The list of investors includes Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, SV Angel, and the venture capital branch of Nvidia Corp . (NASDAQ:NVDA) After the latest funding round, the startup’s valuation stands at $555 million.
