Who is betting on what in AI, and against whom.

Founded by Sara Hooker and Sudip Roy after they left Cohere. Its thesis is that smaller models that adapt on the fly beat bigger frozen ones; it sells gradient-free learning that lets an agent correct itself without retraining. Emergence led a $50M seed in February 2026.
