Imbue

Imbue, a startup focused on building large-scale language models to power artificial intelligence tools, saw its September 2023 funding round led by the Astera Institute, a nonprofit organization founded by cryptocurrency billionaire Jed McCaleb, along with participation from NVIDIA, Kyle Vogt, CEO of General Motors' self-driving unit Cruise, Simon Last, and others. Imbue plans to use the funding to accelerate the development of AI systems capable of reasoning and coding to help achieve broader goals.
