AstraMind: A new perspective for Generative AI
The last few years have seen a spectacular acceleration of generative AI: systems capable of generating text/images/audio. These systems can help human beings:
- Produce superb creative content (text, audio, code, graphics);
- Read, process and summarise unstructured content thousands of times faster than humans;
- Execute workflows faster than ever before.
Generative AI is about to boost productivity in all sectors and create a new industry.
The power of generative artificial intelligence was suddenly demonstrated to the general public with the release of ChatGPT. This type of product was only realised by a few small teams around the world, allowing the entry of new players to become pioneers in this field.
Generative AI technologies are based on years of research in many areas of industry and academia. The latest discoveries, such as the scalability of training on Internet data, the alignment of models with human feedback and the quantization to reduce the model size, have opened the way for the production of technologies that can be used by large numbers of people. These breakthroughs have been made by a very few players with hegemonic intentions in the market. These very few actors train generative models and hold them as assets; they serve it to thousands of third-party productivity enhancing products, in addition to also serving first-party chatbot-like products. Thousands of third-party startups are created every month to build various interfaces to these generative models.
Most of the value in the emerging generative AI market will be located in the hard-to-make generative models themselves. Those models need to be trained on thousands of very powerful machines, on trillions of words coming from high quality sources, which is one factor that sets a high barrier to entry. The second important barrier lies in the difficulty to assemble an experienced team.
We believe in the high quality of European researchers and are certain that we can attract the best minds to our side. At the moment, the main players are located in the United States, with the exception of some new European players.
This is an extraordinary opportunity for Europe to improve artificial intelligence and lead the new industrial revolution that is coming.
AstraMind aims to become a major player in Europe, in the field of Generative AI. We want to pioneer the creation of a new market, which currently relies on prohibitive computational and economic resources, focusing on Low-resources Large Language Model, which will be able to solve this problem. This will lead to a new era of language models that are capable of running locally, eliminating the problems regarding the diffusion of sensitive data.
At AstraMind AI, we're not just keeping pace with innovation; we're setting the tempo. Join us as we redefine the boundaries of what's possible in artificial intelligence.
