Thore Graepel, a former Google Deep Mind researcher who helped build Alpha Go, has launched a new company, Metis Reasoning, aimed at building advanced AI that can reason.
Graepel previously led the DeepMind team focused on scientific discovery and reinforcement learning. He now serves as CEO of Metis Reasoning, which is developing next-generation AI systems capable of complex reasoning tasks.
The startup is backed by prominent investors including Ahnapf Partners and Lightspeed Venture Partners. The funding round also included participation from GV (Google Ventures) and other notable venture firms.
Metis Reasoning's approach focuses on creating AI models that can perform multi-step logical inference and strategic decision-making, building on Graepel's experience with reinforcement learning and neural network architectures developed during his time at DeepMind.
