Live AI: The Next Frontier in Enterprise AI

Large enterprises face a challenge with generative AI: it needs memory and up-to-date training data for practical use. This is where "Live AI" comes in, allowing AI systems to learn and adapt in real-time.

Pathway's $10 Million Seed Round

Pathway, a startup specializing in Live AI, recently secured $10 million in seed funding. The round was led by TQ Ventures, with participation from several other investors, including Lukasz Kaiser, co-author of Transformers. This investment will further Pathway's mission to build AI systems that mimic human learning.

Pathway's Solution for Live AI

Pathway offers "infrastructure components" that power live AI systems. These components process both structured and unstructured data, enabling enterprise AI platforms to make decisions based on current information. Pathway already boasts clients like NATO and La Poste.

Addressing the Limitations of Current LLMs

Current large language models (LLMs) lack the ability to retain and update knowledge. Zuzanna Stamirowska, CEO of Pathway, compares them to "a very smart intern on their first day." Pathway's technology allows developers to feed live data into AI systems, solving this memory problem. This live data feed enhances the prompting stage of LLM and generative AI application development.

Pathway's Competitive Landscape

Pathway occupies a unique space in the Live AI landscape. While companies like Cohere and Writer focus on generative AI engineering and knowledge management, Pathway competes with companies like Palantir in enterprise AI transformation. However, Pathway distinguishes itself with a stronger product focus. For more on AI image generation, see Apple's Image Playground.

The Future of Live AI with Pathway

With a strong team and innovative technology, Pathway is poised to revolutionize enterprise AI. The company's focus on real-time learning and adaptation has the potential to unlock new possibilities for AI applications.
