The funding includes $108 million unconditional and $52 million conditional.
We're excited to announce that Resolution has a $160M grant from Coefficient Giving: $108M unconditional, with a further $52M conditional on hiring and compute needs. We'll use it to grow teams across our research portfolio and invest heavily in research automation. 🧵
Users are congratulating Geoffrey Irving and Coefficient Giving on Resolution securing a $160M grant for AI alignment.

We founded @resolution_org (formerly Sequent) because we think humanity is not on track to align superintelligence (ASI) in time. To clear a higher bar, we're betting that theory, combined with automation, buys AI safety a better chance to "catch up."
We are starting a new, nonprofit alignment organization, ⊢ Sequent Research, bringing together researchers previously on UK AISI’s Alignment Team, Timaeus, and elsewhere to research how to align superintelligence. We are hiring! 🧵
With this funding, we’ll be growing a lot over the next year. We’re now hiring across research, engineering, security, and operations. Please apply by July 19th!

The safety funding ecosystem is scaling up: our grant took six weeks from first conversation to confirmation. More capital is entering the field fast via the OpenAI Foundation and the Anthropic IPO. It's time for everyone in AI safety to be more ambitious.
AI developers are building the dangerous object (ASI) very fast, with tight feedback loops and enormous resources. We want to make the race between rigor and danger a fair(er) fight, using the same ingredients: a critical mass of world-class researchers and a bunch of compute.

We also expect we’ll need to grow even further (in compute and/or humans). Aligning ASI is the project of our time. This will require the best our civilization can muster. If you want to find out how you can help, please reach out!

@geoffreyirving Congratulations @geoffreyirving @coeff_giving @JakeMendel99
@geoffreyirving @BogdanIonutCir2 @guynamedjoshl @ryan_kidd44 Yep, Resolution is the main reason I tagged you.
Congrats, and wishing you the best of luck - but I certainly still have these concerns.
