Today, we’re excited to announce our $50M Series B, led by @GreenfieldVC (formerly TPG Capital), with participation from @lightspeed and @notablecap. 🚀
At @PatronusAI, we develop simulations and evals to train and improve AI. The first phase of AI was built on static benchmarks, but that era is over now. As agents are used to solve longer and longer tasks, they need to practice in dynamic, living worlds to get better. Simulations are the critical infrastructure powering this next phase.
As a company, we’re behind the most influential research and products in AI evaluation, like FinanceBench, Lynx, and Percival. And things have moved at the speed of light since. ⚡ We partner with the world's leading frontier AI labs and enterprises, and our revenue has grown more than 15x over the past year.
Additionally, today, we’re introducing a preview of the first Digital World Model for AI agent training and simulation: Patronus-DWM.
Digital World Models are language diffusion world models that predict realistic environment behaviors and steer agent actions across digital workflows. Just as physical world models predict how objects move through space, we’re developing the equivalent for the digital world: predicting how agents act in digital workflows, then using that to scale the creation of high-quality training data for LLMs.
Digital World Models help us push the frontier of ultra long horizon workflows, and unlock a new class of self-improving RL environments. This is our scalable approach to simulating all of the world’s intelligence.
The round was also joined by @datadoghq, @SamsungVentures, @gokulr, @factorialcap, and a large cohort of amazing AI leaders and researchers across @AnthropicAI, @OpenAI, @GoogleDeepMind, @nvidia, @Recursive_SI, and more. ✨
It has been the ride of a lifetime. But we’re just getting started. The best is yet to come.
"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light" - Dylan Thomas (1954)
