It costs like $50M to build a next gen model, so if what they want to pitch is training next gen models it makes sense they get $100M to try. Similar to Hippocratic AI $50M seed raise. If anything this founder team seems more legit.
- iancmceachern 3y agoInteresting, what is the bulk of the cost? Programmer labor? Data center time?
- dougSF70 3y agoGPU...H100 arent cheap and you need lots of them. And some where to keep them cool.

- ivalm 3y agoI talked to Munjal and team when they were ideating on Hippocratic, even he acknowledges that healthiq was a shit show. AFAIK it was 30 people running a 1k person call center and failing. This motivated Hippocratic as they think they can do AI-based call center replacement because they were so burned out of running human-staffed call centers. I think Hippocratic is interesting because their leadership is business focused and not very technical, while a lot of other new foundational model cos are led by technical people. I’m curious how this shakes out.
