    ZwitterCo is on a mission to solve the world's most urgent water challenges. 💧🌎 In our latest video, CEO Alex Rappaport discusses the critical role water plays in the industries driving the transition to a low-carbon economy. However, as we continue to deplete our conventional water resources, these industries face significant challenges in accessing the vast amounts of purified water they need at a low cost. That's where ZwitterCo's breakthrough membrane technologies come in. By leveraging the power of zwitterions, we have developed fouling-resistant membranes that enable the treatment of the most challenging water and wastewaters. Our membranes have the fastest and easiest cleaning of any membrane in history, allowing for long-term operation in environments that would quickly destroy traditional membranes. With the $58.4 million Series B funding we announced this week https://lnkd.in/e_KBQpNU , we'll be able to accelerate the development and deployment of our complete filtration solutions, empowering industry leaders to solve their water and wastewater challenges and build a future of water abundance. We're excited to work together with our customers, investors, and partners to ensure safe, clean, and affordable water for generations to come. Check out the full video below to learn more about the importance of water in industry and how ZwitterCo is revolutionizing water treatment. #ZwitterCo #WaterInnovation #Sustainability #Decarbonization #SeriesB

    “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” In a Fireside Chat with Recursion co-founder and CEO Chris Gibson at Download Day, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang shared his vision for the future of healthcare, and how the companies are working together on a data-driven approach to drug discovery that has the potential to radically transform medicine.  ◾ Why he’s excited about this collaboration: “If you look at the foundation of Recursion, three things are in play – the invention of a new algorithm, a new family of algorithms that we call deep learning; supercomputing capabilities that you’ve used here and that we’ve partnered with you to create; and the know-how of processing and extracting the meaning of biology that’s embedded within life, within that data.” ◾ With accelerated computing and generative AI, we are changing “the type of problems we can solve,” he added. ◾ NVIDIA has been an incredible partner as we push to develop the next generation of medicines for patients in need -- including their support in building BioHive-2, the largest supercomputer in the pharma industry, which allows us to run more experiments, build more data, and develop even more powerful foundation models. Watch the full Fireside Chat here: https://lnkd.in/evqAm3QB The full day of presentations and slides from Download Day, featuring experts from across the Recursion ecosystem sharing the latest developments on our platform, pipeline and partnerships, is available here: https://lnkd.in/e9bRKvqf  #techbio #future #ai #health #medicine #pharma #tech

    Drug discovery is now a technology industry. ◾ It used to be that supercomputers were only found in aerospace and engineering. Now, together with NVIDIA, we’ve built one of the top 35 supercomputers in the world – BioHive-2 – to digitize biological data at a resolution and scale that can rapidly accelerate new discoveries – and new medicines. ◾ Although demand for GPUs and supercomputers has been extremely high, we’re moving at “Recursion speed.” ◾ Together, we built BioHive-2 in less than three weeks.

    Pleased to host Washington Governor Jay Inslee, members of his staff, State Representatives Mary Fosse and Julio Cortes, and officials from the Department of Health at our facilities in Everett today. Under Governor Inslee our state has emerged as an international focal point of fusion development, and earlier this year he became the third governor to sign legislation formally recognizing fusion as a source of clean energy and providing incentives tied to its development. #Fusion #FusionPower #CleanEnergy

    AI-powered robots are popping up across Silicon Valley. If some industry experts are right, they could help solve a global labor shortage. Companies like Tesla, Amazon, Microsoft and Nvidia have plowed billions of dollars into what are known as “humanoid” robots. These machines typically stand on two legs, and are designed to perform tasks meant for people. For now, they’re being deployed in warehouses. But proponents say the possibilities extend well beyond fulfillment centers.

    CTO at Odyssey

    Super excited to share what I’ve been working on: Odyssey! We’re building Hollywood-grade, directable visual AI, to enable storytellers to create new, amazing movies, TV shows, and video games. We believe this technology is what comes after text-to-video. Firstly, let’s talk about what has shaped our technology approach more than most: autonomous vehicles (AV). Myself and Oliver Cameron, plus a large chunk of our team from Cruise, Wayve, Waymo, and NVIDIA, have spent years building AV technology. Why is AV relevant? 1️⃣ AV had to push the SOTA in visual AI to ship. 2️⃣ AV scaled performance with real-world data. 3️⃣ AV necessitated scalable, physics-accurate simulation systems. AVs are taught to navigate the world. Odyssey is taught to generate worlds. After pushing the SOTA in visual AI for many years, and watching all the progress in generative ML, we were confident that Hollywood-grade outputs could be generated by AI. The question was then: what abstractions would make this technology useful for movie-making and more? If I told you ChatGPT output text you couldn’t edit, you wouldn’t use it. But that’s how text-to-video works today, where the model output is a fully-baked video file that you can’t edit. If any of the scenery, characters, lighting, or motion is off, you have to start again. Given our experience in AVs, our minds naturally went to 3D, and generating layers of 3D worlds. This is why we’re training models to generate… 🧊 High-quality geometry 🏔️ Photorealistic materials 🌄 Stunning lighting 🏃♀️ Controllable motion With this approach, our users will still be able to generate video at the speed of AI, but have fine-tuned control over all the minutiae that matter. We’re early on our journey, but the progress has been incredible, and we’re ready to work alongside Hollywood to shape this. Please get in touch! I’m fortunate to work with some world-class folks to bring this to life. We’re now growing our R&D team for the right individuals. If you’re excited about working with the best visual AI team in the industry, check out our jobs section. Lastly, a big thank you to our amazing supporters in GV (Google Ventures), Air Street Capital, DCVC, and our many wonderful angels. https://odyssey.systems
