Breaking news: The US chipmaker has leapfrogged Microsoft and Apple to become the most valuable company in the world, following months of explosive share price growth and an investor frenzy over AI.
Landmark moment for US chipmaker caps explosive rally fuelled by investor excitement over AI.
Decagon cofounders Jesse Zhang and Ashwin Sreenivas have more in common than just their company. Each studied computer science, married young, and even founded a company before Decagon. “We started hacking on some stuff together,” said Zhang, the startup’s CEO. “And that went well, so we just kept working together.”
Founded in July 2023, Decagon uses generative AI to automate customer support for enterprise customers. The company has emerged from stealth and raised $35 million in funding for its seed and Series A rounds. Accel led the company’s $30 million Series A, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, A*, and Elad Gil. A16z led the company’s $5 million seed round. Decagon also counts Box CEO Aaron Levie and Airtable CEO Howie Liu as angel investors.

Fully edible robots could soon be a reality, according to scientists behind a project to create truly edible robots and robotic food.
Food and tech are intrinsically linked. Whether it’s in the increasing amount of high-tech kitchen gadgets, or that you can have just about any food you desire delivered to your door through the touch of a button on your smart device.
Now, one group of scientists is bringing food and tech together in a brand-new way, by creating edible robots and robotic food.
Chinese researchers developed a photonic chip, the OPCA, capable of processing 100 billion pixels in 6 nanoseconds, revolutionizing high-speed image processing for edge AI applications.
The use of AI to streamline drug discovery is exploding. Researchers are deploying machine-learning models to help them identify molecules, among billions of options, that might have the properties they are seeking to develop new medicines.
👉 Runway has introduced Gen-3 Alpha, a new AI model that offers significant improvements in detail, consistency, and motion representation in the generated videos compared to its predecessor, Gen-2.
Runway has introduced Gen-3 Alpha, a new AI model for video generation. According to Runway, it represents a “significant improvement” over its predecessor, Gen-2, in terms of detail, consistency, and motion representation.
Gen-3 Alpha has been trained on a mix of video and images and, like its predecessor, which was launched in November 2023, supports text-to-video, image-to-video, and text-to-image functions, as well as control modes such as Motion Brush, Advanced Camera Controls, and Director Mode. Additional tools are planned for the future to provide even greater control over structure, style, and motion.
