Former DeepMind researcher Louis Kirsch launches Inherent Labs with $50 million to build recursively self-improving AI agents
Index Ventures and Radical Ventures led the seed funding.
@edwardfhughes @inherent_labs @kallyaleksiev @LouisKirschAI @tantumscollins Congrats!
Edward Hughes@edwardfhughesProud to announce the launch of @inherent_labs. We’re reinventing the scientific research factory for the age of AI agents. I’m joined by co-founders @kallyaleksiev, @LouisKirschAI and @TantumSCollins; all are deeply technical operators. Time to live within the experiment.
@LouisKirschAI @SchmidhuberAI @inherent_labs Congrats!
Louis Kirsch@LouisKirschAIAfter automating AI research with @SchmidhuberAI and building AI Scientists at DeepMind, now comes the real experiment: the institution itself. Excited to co-found @inherent_labs: the recursively self-improving lab for scientific AI. http://inherentlabs.ai
@edwardfhughes @inherent_labs @kallyaleksiev @LouisKirschAI @tantumscollins Congrats and best of luck!

#914Matt Henderson@MATTHEN2Can LLMs learn research taste? Be creative? How do you evaluate a model’s ability to self improve? How would you build a company where a self-improving AI agent helps grow the business and improve itself? Kally is working on some super interesting stuff @inherent_labs
Kaloyan Aleksiev@kallyaleksievExcited to announce @inherent_labs, which I'm co-founding with @tantumscollins, @edwardfhughes, and @LouisKirschAI. Inherent is an AI lab reinventing the AI research factory and designing compute infra with AI as a first-class citizen. Website + roles: http://inherentlabs.ai

Inherent@inherent_labsWe’re excited to introduce Inherent, a lab designed from scratch to build AI agents that discover new knowledge. The coming era of machine-driven scientific inquiry demands a new kind of research institution and a new kind of AI. To achieve our mission, we live within the experiment, recursively self-improving the entire research organisation. We investigate questions including: - What does ‘AI taste’ look like in the sciences, and how can we build an institution that embraces this new aesthetic of discovery? - What new kinds of human-machine teaming will make the most of AI that can truly innovate? - How can we build recursive self-improvement at the collective level that continually increases human agency over outcomes? We have just closed a $50m seed round led by @IndexVentures and @radicalvcfund, with participation from other outstanding investors including NVentures (@nvidia's venture capital arm), @buildexante, Metaplanet, Macroscopic, @MythosVentures, Charlie Songhurst, @chalfs, @jluan, @dwarkesh_sp, @Thom_Wolf, @j_foerst and @maxjaderberg. We are advised by @matthewclifford. Inherent is a Public Benefit Corporation headquartered in London.
#1854Vishal Maini@V_MAINI.@tantumscollins is one of the most underrated people in AI.
He was quietly behind the scenes at @GoogleDeepMind since AlphaGo (2016), where he advised the CEO and research leaders on technical & geopolitical matters, and led the Meta-Research team as a self-taught research scientist.
He later went on to answer the call of duty at the White House National Security Council. Anyone who's worked with him knows him to be a polymath who's had an extraordinary impact relative to his public profile.
Yesterday he emerged from stealth with an elite ex-GDM founding team and a $50M Seed from tier 1 investors for @inherent_labs. They'll be building an RSI-focused lab in London with a contrarian set of research strategies.
ICYMI, highly recommend reading the memo to understand their worldview: https://inherentlabs.ai/
Tantum Collins@tantumscollinsThrilled to announce Inherent, which I’ve co-founded with @kallyaleksiev, @edwardfhughes, and @LouisKirschAI. We are building a lab that recursively self-improves to discover new knowledge. Website: http://inherentlabs.ai. We're hiring: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/inherent.
#1854Vishal Maini@V_MAINISome of the most polymathic humans I've ever met left GDM to build a recursion-focused lab in London.
You might recognize @tantumscollins, whose impact:visibility ratio is extraordinarily high. This will be his magnum opus.
