Get smart on it
Mirendil, an AI lab, has signed a multi-year partnership with Google Cloud worth over $100 million to access computing resources for developing self-improving AI systems. Self-improving AI refers to systems that iteratively improve themselves, a concept that major AI labs have been researching to automate scientific and AI research in fields like medicine and biology. The deal reflects two industry trends: cloud companies are offering large infrastructure commitments to startups, and AI companies are competing to secure computing capacity as they scale. Google gains a strategic partner building frontier self-improving AI technology that it can eventually offer to enterprise customers, while Mirendil gets access to multiple types of computing chips and the flexibility to match different workloads to appropriate hardware.
