Sanctuary AI today announced its latest partnership – this time with Microsoft to bolster AI research and development.
This continues a wave of recent momentum from the company having recently announced partnerships and investments with Accenture and Magna, along with the launching of Gen 7 of its Phoenix robot.
The partnership positions both companies to take an essential step into the next generation of AI models, known as ‘Large Behavior Models’ (LBMs). LBMs ground AI in the real world by allowing AI control systems to understand, and learn from human experience.
Sanctuary AI is making progress towards these models for its AI control system Carbon. Microsoft Azure infrastructure for training, inference, networking, and storage will empower the next evolution of Carbon.
“Creating systems that think like, and understand us, is one of the biggest civilization-level technical problems and opportunities that we will ever face,” said Geordie Rose, CEO and Co-founder of Sanctuary AI.
“A challenge like this requires the best global minds to work together. We’re excited to be working with Microsoft to unlock the next generation of AI models that will power-general purpose robots.”
This partnership announcement builds on a long-term relationship between the two companies.
Microsoft originally collaborated with Sanctuary AI in 2020 as part of a supercluster grant focused on businesses that could unlock remote physical work
