This startup may be young and under the radar to many, but it’s not to be underestimated. It has a heavy-hitting founding team, including Google DeepMind cofounder Mustafa Suleyman, former DeepMind principal scientist Karén Simonyan, and LinkedIn cofounder and venture capitalist Reid Hoffman, Inflection has raised more than $1.5 billion in funding so far from investors like Microsoft and Nvidia. The company released conversational generative AI chatbot Pi, which is designed to be an emotionally supportive conversationalist and can be integrated into iMessage and other communication platforms. “Pi is a new kind of AI, one that isn’t just smart but also has a good EQ. We think of Pi as a digital companion on hand whenever you want to learn something new, when you need a sounding board to talk about your day, or just pass the time with a curious and kind counterpart,” said Suleyman when the chatbot launched. What is notable about Pi though is what is under the hood, Inflection's Inflection-1 LLM, which can rival those created by OpenAI and Anthropic on some tasks. And Suleyman has long hinted that he sees the future of the company in the race to create not just an EQ-enabled chatbot, but an AI-powered, personal "chief of staff" that will help users organize their work and personal lives and perform myriad tasks on their behalf. In July, the company joined Amazon, Microsoft, OpenAI, Meta, and other AI labs alongside the White House to commit to establishing safe AI measures.

Biden: “Pay your fair share” of taxes


Biden to big corporations and super wealthy: “Pay your fair share” of taxes


I believe we're at an inflection point in this country. one of those moments where the decisions we're about to make can change literally change the trajectory of our nation for years and possibly decades to come. Each inflection point in this nation's history represents a fundamental choice. I believe that America at this moment is facing such a choice. We're going to continue with an economy where the overwhelming share the benefits go to big corporations and the very wealthy or are we going to take this moment right now to set this country on a new path. one that invests in this nation creates real sustained economic growth and that benefits everyone, including working people and middle class folks. We still have a long way to go to get the economy where it needs to be. As I said, for a long time coming out of this economic crisis. As deep as the one we're in was never going to be easy. But we're doing it and we can continue to do it. Covid supply chain issues, bad actors seeking to profit off the pandemic are all contributing to the challenges we're facing. That's why I've made getting covid under control. My top priority for my first day as president. Yes, the pandemic has caused a lot of economic problems in the country. But the fact is our economy faced challenges long before this pandemic struck. Working people were struggling to make it long before the pandemic arrives, Big corporations and the very wealthy, we're doing very well before the pandemic. That's why I said starting back in my campaign for president. It's not enough to just build back. We have to build back better than before. Big corporations and super well, they have to start paying their fair share of taxes. It's long overdue. I'm not out to punish anyway. I'm a capitalist. If you can make a million or a billion dollars, that's great. God bless you. All I'm asking is you pay your fair share, pay your fair share, just like middle class folks do. But that isn't happening now.
