Contextual AI

Enterprise AI systems need to be precisely aligned for each use case. We found that conventional alignment methods are underspecified, making this challenging. Today, we share solutions that tackle both alignment data and algorithms, resulting in a ~2x performance boost for the same amount of data ($$). With our contrastive data solution, AI developers precisely control *what* a model learns. With our tailored algorithm solution, AI developers precisely control *how* a model learns. We’re also sharing a paper and blogpost discussing underspecification in alignment and our proposed solutions.

☁️ WEKA has teamed with Contextual AI, a company on a mission to change the way the world works through #AI, to power production-ready #enterpriseAI solutions in Google Cloud. Read the press release: https://weka.ly/4d8DyOy Take a closer look in the case study: https://weka.ly/3yxHVUm

We’re excited to share that we’ve raised $80M in Series A funding to accelerate our mission to change the way the world works through AI. We’re fortunate to have so many incredible partners at our side for this journey including Greycroft, Bain Capital Ventures, Lightspeed, Lip-Bu Tan, Conviction/Sarah Guo and Recall Capital, Bezos Expeditions, NVentures (NVIDIA), HSBC Ventures, and Snowflake Ventures. In the year since our founding, we’ve deployed our enterprise AI platform at leading Fortune 500 companies, built a world-class team that’s both enterprise-native and AI-native, and published state-of-the-art research like our benchmark-beating RAG 2.0 technology.

With RAG 2.0, the generator and retriever are always working together. Whether you're building a house or enterprise-grade AI, teamwork makes the dream work. Find out how to make the dream work at http://rag2.ai

We’re excited to announce RAG 2.0, our end-to-end system for developing production-grade AI. Using RAG 2.0, we’ve created Contextual Language Models (CLMs), which achieve state-of-the-art performance on a variety of industry benchmarks. CLMs outperform strong RAG baselines built using GPT-4 and top open-source models like Mixtral, according to our research and customers. On axes critical for enterprise work, such as open-domain question answering, faithfulness, and freshness, CLMs significantly improve performance over current systems. CLMs achieve even bigger gains over current approaches when applied to real world data, as we have seen with our early customers in domains such as finance and engineering. We’re thrilled about the results we’re seeing with RAG 2.0 and can’t wait to bring it to more leading enterprises. Read more in our blog post here: http://rag2.ai
