AI Lab

Develops 'world models' - AI designed to learn from and interact with the physical world, as opposed to the 2D approach used by large language models

Problem It Solves
LLMs use a 2-dimensional approach that is limiting - they don't genuinely understand the world. Generative architecture trained by self-supervised learning mimic intelligence but don't understand reality which is continuous, noisy and high-dimensional
Target Customer
Factories, hospitals, and robots operating in open environments
Use Cases
Healthcare AI, Robotics, Industrial applications (factories), Medical applications (hospitals)
Differentiator
Focus on world models that understand and interact with 3D physical reality, vs. 2D token-based LLMs
Why Now
Investors turning attention to funding companies that bring AI into the physical world; prediction that 'world models' will be the next buzzword
Traction
Customers Mentioned: Nabla · Notable Metrics: Largest seed round ever for a European startup; valued at $3.5 billion post-funding; one of Europe's largest fundings for an AI startup overall · Press Mentions: TechCrunch, Crunchbase
