## AI 摘要

由前 DeepMind 研究员创立的 AI 实验室 Inherent 完成了 5000 万美元的种子轮融资，由 Index Ventures 和 Radical 共同领投，NVIDIA 旗下风投部门 NVentures 参投。创始团队包括 Louis Kirsch、Edward Hughes 和 Tantum Collins。该公司旨在构建能够主动发现新知识的 AI 智能体，其核心理念是实现整个研究组织的“递归自我改进”，使 AI 成为人类研究中的协作伙伴。Inherent 被定位为一家公共利益公司，总部位于伦敦。

## 正文

A team of former DeepMind researchers just raised $50M to build an AI lab built around recursive self-improvement at the level of the whole research organization， not only a single model.

Index and Radical co-led， NVIDIA's venture arm is in， and angels like Dwarkesh Patel， Thomas Wolf and Max Jaderberg are on the cap table.

The founders have the track record to back it up. Louis Kirsch comes out of the Schmidhuber lineage on self-improving systems. Edward Hughes has argued that open-endedness is essential for artificial superhuman intelligence. Tantum Collins worked on AI policy in the Biden White House.

Their idea is simple and big at the same time. Today's models are great at answering questions， but real discovery also depends on knowing which questions are worth asking. Inherent wants AI that works right next to humans inside that loop， as a collaborator and not only a tool. They call it living within the experiment.

They also set it up as a Public Benefit Corporation， so the mission is written into the company from day one.
This is the direction a lot of us have been hoping for， and one of the more credible attempts at recursive self-improvement I've seen so far. Really excited for it.
