We’re investing in Symbiotic via Deepwater Venture Fund II as we see the company becoming the world’s premier lab dedicated to machine creativity, a key step to achieving ASI (Artificial Superintelligence).
Symbiotic is building frontier artificial intelligence by reverse engineering human capacities like creativity, learning, perception, and imagination to construct software that embodies these principles.
The team has developed a novel set of benchmarks and challenges that would go far beyond the capabilities of current frontier LLMs and Diffusion Models.
Deepwater participated in an undisclosed early fundraising round in 2024; co-investors included various AI focused early-stage VCs.
Symbiotic’s research around creative computation could provide the keys to unlock:
- A system that emulates the processes employed by human creative thinkers across a diverse range of tasks.
- Machines that can think and act creatively in the world — making high-quality creative services accessible, impactful, and personal for everyone.
Creativity is the defining feature of human intelligence. Solving computational creativity could have far reaching implications for human civilization as it has the promise to endow AI with a superior connection to the human experience of the world. Symbiotic looks to capture the essence of creative cognition for use beyond humankind.
