At first glance, it doesn't look like they have much more secret sauce than just applying the state of the art deep learning techniques. The most promising AI companies are the ones advancing the field.
- ahurmazda 8y agoThis company is behind chainer, a deep learning framework that partly inspired pytorch [0]. In fact, its was one of the first frameworks to come out with define-by-run (aka eager execution). The also developed CuPy (think numpy on gpu) [1] [0] https://chainer.org https://chainer.org [1] https://cupy.chainer.org https://cupy.chainer.org edit- add cupy
- p1esk 8y agoI wonder if this news means chainer/cupy will gain more weight?
- pretendscholar 8y agoThe most promising ones (from the perspective of business) translate research into consumer ready products, not pushing the theoretical bounds of the field.

- patentatt 8y agoThis. R&D is great, and gets us on HN excited, but it takes a Steve Jobs to come along a few years later to produce a product which creates a market which stimulates and funds the next round. Business success is important for technology development. Voice assistants are probably close, but I feel like we’re on the verge of a big category-defining concept/tech/product in the AI field. The basic technology is there, plenty of people can identify needs, but I don’t think we’ve hit the ‘iPhone’ moment yet.
