Trajectory raises $45M for AI model training software

TechCrunch: Trajectory raises $45M to make AI model training accessible to nontechnical experts

The one-year-old startup is now valued at $300 million.

Get smart on it

A startup has raised $45 million to build software that makes it easier for non-technical specialists to improve AI models for their specific fields. Current AI models typically need expensive consultants or internal research teams to adapt them for specialized uses like law and finance, but this company's platform automates that process by collecting feedback on how models perform and using it to retrain them continuously. The approach keeps humans involved in the training process rather than allowing models to improve themselves autonomously, which the founders argue makes it safer. Companies in law, finance, and other sectors are already using the platform to make general AI models perform like experienced professionals in their domains.
