Adobe’s Claims Next Generative AI Features Will Be Commercially Safe

Speak­ing of “ear­ly access” fea­tures, Adobe intro­duced AI-pow­ered Lens Blur as an ear­ly access tool last year. With today’s Light­room ecosys­tem update, it is final­ly avail­able to every­one, no strings attached. For those who want it, it’s avail­able in all ver­sions of Adobe Light­room begin­ning today as an “ear­ly access” fea­ture. While it’s easy to think about “gen­er­a­tive AI” in terms of adding some­thing to a scene, it also makes sense for removal, as to do so con­vinc­ing­ly, new pix­els must be made to replace what is tak­en out of the frame.

By being open about our data sources, train­ing method­olo­gies, and the eth­i­cal safe­guards we have in place, we empow­er users to make informed deci­sions about how they inter­act with our prod­ucts. This trans­paren­cy not only aligns with our core AI Ethics prin­ci­ples but also fos­ters a col­lab­o­ra­tive rela­tion­ship with our users. Adobe could improve the user expe­ri­ence dra­mat­i­cal­ly by sim­ply includ­ing the rea­son a gen­er­a­tion gets flagged as a guide­line vio­la­tion. They request we use their feed­back sys­tem when this hap­pens, but don’t give us any feed­back in return.

Make sure you’re running the right version

There, a user’s remain­ing num­ber of gen­er­a­tive cred­its is shown and it reloads in real-time. There is no indi­ca­tion inside any of Adobe’s apps that tells a user a tool requires a Gen­er­a­tive Cred­it and there is also no note show­ing how many cred­its remain on an account. Adobe’s FAQ page says that the gen­er­a­tive cred­its avail­able to a user can be seen after log­ging into their account on the web, but PetaPix­el found this isn’t the case, at least not for any of its team mem­bers.

The future of con­tent cre­ation and pro­duc­tion with gen­er­a­tive AI.

Post­ed: Wed, 11 Dec 2024 08:00:00 GMT [source]

The Fire­fly Video Mod­el (beta) is set to extend Adobe’s fam­i­ly of gen­er­a­tive AI mod­els and make Fire­fly one of the most com­pre­hen­sive mod­el offer­ings for cre­ative teams. It is avail­able today through a lim­it­ed pub­lic beta with the goal of gar­ner­ing feed­back from small groups of cre­ative pro­fes­sion­als. Adobe is upgrad­ing those exist­ing capa­bil­i­ties to a new AI mod­el called the Fire­fly Image 3 Mod­el. Accord­ing to the com­pa­ny, the update will improve both the qual­i­ty and vari­ety of the con­tent that the fea­tures gen­er­ates.

Adobe’s new AI tools will make your next creative project a breeze

By Jess Weath­erbed, a news writer focused on cre­ative indus­tries, com­put­ing, and inter­net cul­ture. To its cred­it, two of the three options Gen­er­a­tive Remove sug­gest­ed did pro­vide usable alter­na­tives. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, the Bit­coin option was the first one, which (whether Adobe intends this or not) tells an edi­tor that it is what the plat­form feels is the best result. While this kind of makes sense if you don’t think about it too hard, it also is com­plete­ly coun­ter­in­tu­itive to the con­cept of the name of the tool and the result an edi­tor is expect­ing. “Select the entire object/person, includ­ing its shad­ow, reflec­tion, and any dis­con­nect­ed parts (such as a hand on some­one else’s shoul­der). For exam­ple, if you select a per­son and miss their feet, Light­room tries to rebuild a new per­son to fit the feet,” the arti­cle reads.

“It’s anoth­er way to pen­e­trate and radi­ate the user base,” Gart­ner ana­lyst Frances Kara­mouzis said. The new Media Intel­li­gence tool in Pre­miere Pro fol­lows the intro­duc­tion of oth­er AI-dri­ven fea­tures includ­ing Fire­fly-pow­ered Gen­er­a­tive Extend. If I am select­ing a body part and ask­ing a tool to fill or remove that space, zero per­cent of the time would I want it to replace my selec­tion with its eldritch night­mare ver­sion of that exact same thing. What I, and any edi­tor doing this, want is for what is select­ed to be removed as seam­less­ly as pos­si­ble. GPU-accel­er­at­ed, AI-pow­ered video retim­ing tool can now be used with­out a host app, for under half the price of a reg­u­lar plu­g­in license. Inter­nal­ly, IBM is also using Adobe Fire­fly to stream­line work­flows, lever­ag­ing gen­er­a­tive art, Pho­to­shop, Illus­tra­tor, and Firefly’s AI capa­bil­i­ties.

Generative Extend is coming to the Adobe Premiere Pro beta

That’s an exist­ing Illus­tra­tor fea­ture for cre­at­ing scal­able vec­tor, or eas­i­ly resiz­able, ver­sions of an image. Accord­ing to Adobe, its engi­neers have enhanced the visu­al fideli­ty of the feature’s out­put. Or per­haps some­one likes the look of an image but wish­es that the sub­ject were some­where else in the frame.

• Lead­ing enter­pris­es includ­ing the Coca-Cola Com­pa­ny, Dick’s Sport­ing Goods, Major League Base­ball, and Mar­riott Inter­na­tion­al cur­rent­ly use Adobe Expe­ri­ence Plat­form (AEP) to pow­er their cus­tomer expe­ri­ence ini­tia­tives.
• “Dub­bing and Lip Sync” can trans­late and edit lip move­ment for video audio into 14 dif­fer­ent lan­guages, and a new InDe­sign tool can auto­mat­i­cal­ly for­mat text and images for print and dig­i­tal media using pre­de­fined tem­plates.
• One of the biggest announce­ments for video­g­ra­phers dur­ing Adobe Max 2024 is the abil­i­ty to expand a clip that’s too short.
• Illus­tra­tor and Pho­to­shop have received GenAI tools with the goal of improv­ing user expe­ri­ence and allow­ing more free­dom for users to express their cre­ativ­i­ty and skills.

My advice would be to begin by estab­lish­ing clear, sim­ple, and prac­ti­cal prin­ci­ples that can guide your efforts. Often, I see com­pa­nies or orga­ni­za­tions focused on what looks good in the­o­ry, but their prin­ci­ples aren’t prac­ti­cal. The rea­son why our prin­ci­ples have stood the test of time is because we designed them to be action­able.

Adobe Firefly Feature Deep Dive

Fire­fly is fea­tured in numer­ous Adobe apps, includ­ing Pho­to­shop, Express, and Illus­tra­tor, and with the intro­duc­tion of the Fire­fly Video Mod­el (beta), it is com­ing to Pre­miere Pro, Adobe’s ven­er­a­ble video edit­ing soft­ware. At the heart of Adobe’s announce­ments is the expan­sion of its Fire­fly fam­i­ly of gen­er­a­tive AI mod­els. The com­pa­ny intro­duced a new Fire­fly Video Mod­el, cur­rent­ly in beta, which allows users to gen­er­ate video con­tent from text and image prompts.

While the com­pa­ny was not proac­tive about alert­ing users to this change, Adobe does have a detailed FAQ page that includes almost all the infor­ma­tion required to under­stand how Gen­er­a­tive Cred­its work in its apps. As of Jan­u­ary 17, Adobe start­ed enforc­ing gen­er­a­tive cred­it lim­its “on select plans” and track­ing use on all of them. When it comes to gen­er­a­tive arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence (AI), one com­pa­ny that has been at the fore­front on the soft­ware side is Adobe (ADBE -0.43%). The com­pa­ny has added a num­ber of AI-relat­ed fea­tures to both its Cre­ative line of prod­ucts, such as Pho­to­shop, and its Acro­bat-led Doc­u­ment Cloud busi­ness. Since many mobile devices shoot HDR pho­tos, soft­ware has con­tin­u­al­ly expand­ed its sup­port for HDR image edit­ing, Light­room among them. With HDR Opti­miza­tion, Light­room users can achieve brighter high­lights, deep­er shad­ows, and more sat­u­rat­ed col­ors in HDR pho­tos.

For Cre­ative Bloq, Ian com­bines his expe­ri­ences to bring the lat­est news on dig­i­tal art, VFX and video games and tech, and in his spare time he doo­dles in Pro­cre­ate, ArtRage, and Rebelle while find­ing time to play Xbox and PS5. As some exam­ples above show, it is absolute­ly pos­si­ble to get fan­tas­tic results using Gen­er­a­tive Remove and Gen­er­a­tive Fill. But they’re not a panacea, even if that is what pho­tog­ra­phers want, and more impor­tant­ly, what Adobe is work­ing toward. There is still need to uti­lize oth­er non-gen­er­a­tive AI tools inside Adobe’s pho­to soft­ware, even though they aren’t always con­ve­nient or quick. As its name sug­gests, Gen­er­a­tive Remove gen­er­ates new pix­els using arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence.

Adobe’s Claims Next Generative AI Features Will Be ’Commercially Safe‘

The new AI fea­tures will be avail­able in a sta­ble release of the soft­ware “lat­er this year”. Gen­er­ate Sim­i­lar, shown above, auto­mat­i­cal­ly gen­er­ates vari­a­tions of a source image, mak­ing it pos­si­ble to iter­ate more quick­ly on design ideas. Users can guide the out­put by enter­ing a brief text descrip­tion, with Pho­to­shop auto­mat­i­cal­ly match­ing the light­ing and per­spec­tive of the fore­ground objects in the con­tent it gen­er­ates. In Pho­to­shop 25.9, they are joined by the abil­i­ty to cre­ate entire images from scratch, in the shape of new text-to-image sys­tem Gen­er­ate Image.

“Think of these ‘con­trols’ as the dig­i­tal equiv­a­lent of the paint­brush in Pho­to­shop,” says Alexan­dru. If you’re a dig­i­tal artist fed up with hear­ing prompt jock­eys tell you to get over gen­er­a­tive AI art’s impact, then Alexan­dru Costin, Vice Pres­i­dent of Gen­er­a­tive AI and Sen­sei at Adobe, has some good news for you as we begin 2025. Get the lat­est infor­ma­tion about com­pa­nies, prod­ucts, careers, and fund­ing in the tech­nol­o­gy indus­try across emerg­ing mar­kets glob­al­ly. I sus­pect this may be for sim­i­lar rea­sons, that Sta­ble Dif­fu­sion XL (SDXL) works best in 1024 pix­el aspect ratios. I’ve found that lim­it­ing the expand or fill areas to 1024 pix­els improves results.

The com­pa­ny sees this tool as help­ful in cre­at­ing sto­ry­boards, gen­er­at­ing B-roll clips, or aug­ment­ing live-action footage. Labrecque has authored a num­ber of books and video course pub­li­ca­tions on design and devel­op­ment tech­nolo­gies, tools, and con­cepts through pub­lish­ers which include LinkedIn Learn­ing (Lynda.com), Peach­pit Press, and Adobe. He has spo­ken at large design and tech­nol­o­gy con­fer­ences such as Adobe MAX and for a vari­ety of small­er cre­ative com­mu­ni­ties.

• Even if the com­pa­ny isn’t enforc­ing these lim­its yet, it didn’t tell users that it was track­ing usage either.
• “I think Adobe has done such a great job of inte­grat­ing new tools to make the process eas­i­er,” said Angel Aceve­do, graph­ic design­er and direc­tor of the appar­el com­pa­ny God is a design­er.
• At Sun­dance 2025 in Utah, the cre­ative tech giant has announced a new AI-pow­ered Media Intel­li­gence tool that auto­mat­i­cal­ly analy­ses visu­als across thou­sands of clips in sec­onds.
• In Q4 of last year, the com­pa­ny gen­er­at­ed $569 mil­lion in new dig­i­tal media ARR, so this would be a decel­er­a­tion and could lead to low­er rev­enue growth in the future.

Fur­ther, Fire­fly offers a vari­ety of cam­era con­trols, includ­ing angle, motion, and zoom, enabling peo­ple to fine­tune the video results. It’s also pos­si­ble to gen­er­ate new video using ref­er­ence images, which may be espe­cial­ly help­ful when try­ing to cre­ate B-roll that can seam­less­ly fit into an exist­ing project. Adobe is one of sev­er­al tech­nol­o­gy com­pa­nies work­ing on AI video gen­er­a­tion capa­bil­i­ties. OpenAI’s Sora promis­es to let users cre­ate minute-long video clips, while Meta recent­ly announced its Movie Gen video mod­el and Google unveiled Veo back in May. It is avail­able today through a lim­it­ed pub­lic beta to gar­ner ini­tial feed­back from a small group of cre­ative pro­fes­sion­als, which will be used to con­tin­ue to refine and improve the mod­el, accord­ing to Adobe.

They uti­lize AI to sig­nif­i­cant­ly speed up and improve image edit­ing with­out tak­ing con­trol away from the pho­tog­ra­ph­er. To address this, Adobe found­ed the Con­tent Authen­tic­i­ty Ini­tia­tive (CAI) in 2019 to build a more trust­wor­thy and trans­par­ent dig­i­tal ecosys­tem for con­sumers. The CAI imple­mentsour solu­tion to build trust online– called Con­tent Cre­den­tials. Con­tent Cre­den­tials include “ingre­di­ents” or impor­tant infor­ma­tion such as the creator’s name, the date an image was cre­at­ed, what tools were used to cre­ate an image and any edits that were made along the way.

The Gen­er­ate Sim­i­lar tool is fair­ly self-explana­to­ry — it can gen­er­ate vari­ants of an object in the image until you find one you pre­fer. Adobe is upgrad­ing its Pre­miere Pro video edit­ing appli­ca­tion with a gen­er­a­tive AI mod­el called the Fire­fly Video Mod­el. It pow­ers a new fea­ture called Gen­er­a­tive Extend that can extend a clip by two sec­onds at begin­ning or end. These lat­est advance­ments mark anoth­er sig­nif­i­cant step in Adobe’s inte­gra­tion of gen­er­a­tive AI into its cre­ative suite.

This upcom­ing tool takes the pow­er of every­thing seen in Adobe Fire­fly AI func­tions and applies it to gen­er­a­tive video. It works incred­i­bly well, even track­ing objects that move against sim­i­lar­ly toned or col­ored back­grounds. Photoshop’s lat­est AI fea­tures bring in more pre­cise removal tools, allow­ing you to brush an area for Pho­to­shop to iden­ti­fy the dis­trac­tion and remove it seam­less­ly.

Its Con­tent Cre­den­tials water­marks are applied to what­ev­er the video mod­el out­puts. In Fire­fly Ser­vices, a col­lec­tion of cre­ative and gen­er­a­tive APIs for enter­pris­es, Adobe unveiled new offer­ings to scale pro­duc­tion work­flows. This includes Dub­bing and Lip Sync, now in beta, which uses gen­er­a­tive AI for video con­tent to trans­late spo­ken dia­logue into dif­fer­ent lan­guages while main­tain­ing the sound of the orig­i­nal voice with match­ing lip sync.

In addi­tion, he is the founder of Securities.io, a plat­form focused on invest­ing in cut­ting-edge tech­nolo­gies that are redefin­ing the future and reshap­ing entire sec­tors. As gen­er­a­tive AI con­tin­ues to scale, it will be even more impor­tant to pro­mote wide­spread adop­tion of Con­tent Cre­den­tials to restore trust in dig­i­tal con­tent. For those seek­ing more con­trol, con­sid­er explor­ing tools like Sta­ble Dif­fu­sion and Com­fyUI. While they have a steep­er learn­ing curve and require a GPU with at least 6–8GB of VRAM, they can eas­i­ly blow Pho­to­shop out of the water.

While a lot of the focus has been on gen­er­a­tive AI, Adobe con­tin­ues to roll out work­flow-focused AI fea­tures across its Cre­ative Cloud suite too. I’d argue this increase is most­ly com­ing from all the gen­er­a­tive AI invest­ments for Adobe Fire­fly. But speak to seri­ous pho­tog­ra­phers who use Light­room and Pho­to­shop for edit­ing their pho­tos, and I’d be will­ing to wager that most of them don’t need any of the gen­er­a­tive tools that Adobe wants to sell to us via this price increase.

I sus­pect this may be for sim­i­lar rea­sons, that Sta­ble Dif­fu­sion XL (SDXL) works best in 1024 pix­el aspect ratios. I’ve found that lim­it­ing the expand or fill areas to 1024 pix­els improves results.

The com­pa­ny sees this tool as help­ful in cre­at­ing sto­ry­boards, gen­er­at­ing B-roll clips, or aug­ment­ing live-action footage. Labrecque has authored a num­ber of books and video course pub­li­ca­tions on design and devel­op­ment tech­nolo­gies, tools, and con­cepts through pub­lish­ers which include LinkedIn Learn­ing (Lynda.com), Peach­pit Press, and Adobe. He has spo­ken at large design and tech­nol­o­gy con­fer­ences such as Adobe MAX and for a vari­ety of small­er cre­ative com­mu­ni­ties.

• Even if the com­pa­ny isn’t enforc­ing these lim­its yet, it didn’t tell users that it was track­ing usage either.
• “I think Adobe has done such a great job of inte­grat­ing new tools to make the process eas­i­er,” said Angel Aceve­do, graph­ic design­er and direc­tor of the appar­el com­pa­ny God is a design­er.
• At Sun­dance 2025 in Utah, the cre­ative tech giant has announced a new AI-pow­ered Media Intel­li­gence tool that auto­mat­i­cal­ly analy­ses visu­als across thou­sands of clips in sec­onds.
• In Q4 of last year, the com­pa­ny gen­er­at­ed $569 mil­lion in new dig­i­tal media ARR, so this would be a decel­er­a­tion and could lead to low­er rev­enue growth in the future.

Fur­ther, Fire­fly offers a vari­ety of cam­era con­trols, includ­ing angle, motion, and zoom, enabling peo­ple to fine­tune the video results. It’s also pos­si­ble to gen­er­ate new video using ref­er­ence images, which may be espe­cial­ly help­ful when try­ing to cre­ate B-roll that can seam­less­ly fit into an exist­ing project. Adobe is one of sev­er­al tech­nol­o­gy com­pa­nies work­ing on AI video gen­er­a­tion capa­bil­i­ties. OpenAI’s Sora promis­es to let users cre­ate minute-long video clips, while Meta recent­ly announced its Movie Gen video mod­el and Google unveiled Veo back in May. It is avail­able today through a lim­it­ed pub­lic beta to gar­ner ini­tial feed­back from a small group of cre­ative pro­fes­sion­als, which will be used to con­tin­ue to refine and improve the mod­el, accord­ing to Adobe.

They uti­lize AI to sig­nif­i­cant­ly speed up and improve image edit­ing with­out tak­ing con­trol away from the pho­tog­ra­ph­er. To address this, Adobe found­ed the Con­tent Authen­tic­i­ty Ini­tia­tive (CAI) in 2019 to build a more trust­wor­thy and trans­par­ent dig­i­tal ecosys­tem for con­sumers. The CAI imple­mentsour solu­tion to build trust online– called Con­tent Cre­den­tials. Con­tent Cre­den­tials include “ingre­di­ents” or impor­tant infor­ma­tion such as the creator’s name, the date an image was cre­at­ed, what tools were used to cre­ate an image and any edits that were made along the way.

The Gen­er­ate Sim­i­lar tool is fair­ly self-explana­to­ry — it can gen­er­ate vari­ants of an object in the image until you find one you pre­fer. Adobe is upgrad­ing its Pre­miere Pro video edit­ing appli­ca­tion with a gen­er­a­tive AI mod­el called the Fire­fly Video Mod­el. It pow­ers a new fea­ture called Gen­er­a­tive Extend that can extend a clip by two sec­onds at begin­ning or end. These lat­est advance­ments mark anoth­er sig­nif­i­cant step in Adobe’s inte­gra­tion of gen­er­a­tive AI into its cre­ative suite.

This upcom­ing tool takes the pow­er of every­thing seen in Adobe Fire­fly AI func­tions and applies it to gen­er­a­tive video. It works incred­i­bly well, even track­ing objects that move against sim­i­lar­ly toned or col­ored back­grounds. Photoshop’s lat­est AI fea­tures bring in more pre­cise removal tools, allow­ing you to brush an area for Pho­to­shop to iden­ti­fy the dis­trac­tion and remove it seam­less­ly.

Its Con­tent Cre­den­tials water­marks are applied to what­ev­er the video mod­el out­puts. In Fire­fly Ser­vices, a col­lec­tion of cre­ative and gen­er­a­tive APIs for enter­pris­es, Adobe unveiled new offer­ings to scale pro­duc­tion work­flows. This includes Dub­bing and Lip Sync, now in beta, which uses gen­er­a­tive AI for video con­tent to trans­late spo­ken dia­logue into dif­fer­ent lan­guages while main­tain­ing the sound of the orig­i­nal voice with match­ing lip sync.

In addi­tion, he is the founder of Securities.io, a plat­form focused on invest­ing in cut­ting-edge tech­nolo­gies that are redefin­ing the future and reshap­ing entire sec­tors. As gen­er­a­tive AI con­tin­ues to scale, it will be even more impor­tant to pro­mote wide­spread adop­tion of Con­tent Cre­den­tials to restore trust in dig­i­tal con­tent. For those seek­ing more con­trol, con­sid­er explor­ing tools like Sta­ble Dif­fu­sion and Com­fyUI. While they have a steep­er learn­ing curve and require a GPU with at least 6–8GB of VRAM, they can eas­i­ly blow Pho­to­shop out of the water.

While a lot of the focus has been on gen­er­a­tive AI, Adobe con­tin­ues to roll out work­flow-focused AI fea­tures across its Cre­ative Cloud suite too. I’d argue this increase is most­ly com­ing from all the gen­er­a­tive AI invest­ments for Adobe Fire­fly. But speak to seri­ous pho­tog­ra­phers who use Light­room and Pho­to­shop for edit­ing their pho­tos, and I’d be will­ing to wager that most of them don’t need any of the gen­er­a­tive tools that Adobe wants to sell to us via this price increase.

Mean­while, Kristi­na Dulaney, RN, PMH-C, the founder of Cher­ished Mom, an orga­ni­za­tion ded­i­cat­ed to solv­ing mater­nal men­tal health chal­lenges, helped to cre­ate an AI agent that’s focused on help­ing new moth­ers nav­i­gate such prob­lems with post­par­tum men­tal health assess­ments and depres­sion screen­ing. The start­up was ini­tial­ly focused on cre­at­ing gen­er­a­tive AI chat­bots to sup­port clin­i­cians and oth­er health­care pro­fes­sion­als, but has since switched its focus to patients them­selves. Its most advanced mod­els take advan­tage of the lat­est devel­op­ments in AI agents, which are a form of AI that can per­form more com­plex tasks while work­ing unsu­per­vised.

In a state­ment, Rasp­ber­ry AI said the fund­ing would be used to accel­er­ate its prod­uct devel­op­ment and add top engi­neer­ing, sales and mar­ket­ing tal­ent to its team. But with U.S. com­pa­nies rais­ing and/or spend­ing record sums on new AI infra­struc­ture that many experts have not­ed depre­ci­ate rapid­ly (due to hardware/chip and soft­ware advance­ments), the ques­tion remains which vision of the future will win out in the end to become the dom­i­nant AI provider for the world. Or maybe it will always be a mul­ti­plic­i­ty of mod­els each with a small­er mar­ket share? That’s fol­lowed by more exten­sive eval­u­a­tions and safe­ty assess­ments by an exten­sive net­work of more than 6,000 nurs­es and 300 doc­tors, who will con­firm that it pass­es all required safe­ty tests.

Hol­ger Mueller of Con­stel­la­tion Research Inc. said Hip­po­crat­ic AI is bring­ing two of the lead­ing tech­nol­o­gy trends to the health­care indus­try, name­ly no-code or low-code soft­ware devel­op­ment and AI agents. The launch is a bold step for­ward in health­care inno­va­tion, giv­ing clin­i­cians the oppor­tu­ni­ty to par­tic­i­pate in the design of AI agents that can address var­i­ous aspects of patient care. It says clin­i­cians can cre­ate an AI agent pro­to­type that spe­cial­izes in their area of focus in less than 30 min­utes, and around three to four hours to devel­op one that can be test­ed. Shah said the last nine months since the company’s pre­vi­ous $50 mil­lion fund­ing round have seen it make tremen­dous progress. Dur­ing that time, it has received its first U.S. patents, ful­ly eval­u­at­ed and ver­i­fied the safe­ty of its first AI health­care agents, and signed con­tracts with 23 health sys­tems, pay­ers and phar­ma clients.

For instance, one of its AI agents is spe­cial­ized in chron­ic care man­age­ment, med­ica­tion checks and post-dis­charge fol­low-up regard­ing spe­cif­ic con­di­tions such as kid­ney fail­ure and con­ges­tive heart fail­ure. The health­care-focused arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence start­up Hip­po­crat­ic AI Inc. said today it has closed on a $141 mil­lion Series B fund­ing round that brings its total amount raised to more than $278 mil­lion. “This round of financ­ing will accel­er­ate the devel­op­ment and deploy­ment of the Hip­po­crat­ic gen­er­a­tive AI-dri­ven super staffing and con­tin­ue our quest to make health­care abun­dance a real­i­ty,” he promised. Rasp­ber­ry AI, the gen­er­a­tive AI plat­form for fash­ion cre­atives, has secured 24 mil­lion US dol­lars in Series A fund­ing led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Today, we’re going in-depth on blockchain inno­va­tion with Robert Roose, an entre­pre­neur who’s on a mis­sion to fix today’s bro­ken mon­e­tary sys­tem. Hip­po­crat­ic AI’s ear­ly cus­tomers include Arkos Health Inc., Belong Health Inc., Cincin­nati Children’s, Fras­er Health Author­i­ty (Cana­da), Guide­Health, Hon­or Health, Deca Den­tal Man­age­ment, LLC, Ohio­Health, WellSpan Health and oth­er well-known health­care sys­tems and hos­pi­tals.

By incor­po­rat­ing this wis­dom into its AI agents, it’s mak­ing them safer and improv­ing patient out­comes, it said. Cru­cial­ly, any agent cre­at­ed using its plat­form will under­go exten­sive safe­ty train­ing by both the cre­ator and Hip­po­crat­ic AI’s own staff. Every clin­i­cian will have access to a dash­board to track their AI agent’s per­for­mance and use and receive feed­back for fur­ther devel­op­ment.

All these indi­cate the com­mit­ment a16z has in shap­ing the future of tech­nol­o­gy and health­care through strate­gic invest­ments. Both plat­forms use Sta­bil­i­ty AI’s mod­els to bring cre­ators’ visions to life and Story’s blockchain tech­nol­o­gy to enable prove­nance and attri­bu­tion through­out the cre­ative process. These real-world appli­ca­tions high­light how cre­ators can safe­guard their intel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty while thriv­ing in a shared cre­ative econ­o­my. Rasp­ber­ry AI offers brands and man­u­fac­tur­ing cre­ative teams tech­nol­o­gy solu­tions, which can help accel­er­ate each stage of the fash­ion prod­uct devel­op­ment cycle to increase speed to mar­ket and prof­itabil­i­ty while reduc­ing costs. Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, is one of the lead­ing AI investors and tar­gets only inno­v­a­tive star­tups. They par­tic­i­pat­ed in the round that fund­ed Any­sphere on Jan­u­ary 14, 2025, with a total sum of $105 mil­lion for an AI cod­ing tool known as Cur­sor, whose val­u­a­tion has reached $2.5 bil­lion.

In order to ensure its AI agents can do their jobs safe­ly, Hip­po­crat­ic AI says it only works with licensed clin­i­cians to devel­op them, tak­ing steps to ver­i­fy their qual­i­fi­ca­tions and expe­ri­ence first. Once clin­i­cians have built their agents, they’ll be sub­mit­ted to the start­up for an ini­tial round of test­ing. Through the Hip­po­crat­ic AI Agent App Store, health­care orga­ni­za­tions and hos­pi­tals will be able to access a range of spe­cial­ized AI agents for dif­fer­ent aspects of med­ical care.

The start­up was co-found­ed by Chief Exec­u­tive Offi­cer and ser­i­al entre­pre­neur Mun­jal Shah and a group of physi­cians, hos­pi­tal admin­is­tra­tors, health­care pro­fes­sion­als and AI researchers from orga­ni­za­tions includ­ing El Camino Health LLC, Johns Hop­kins Uni­ver­si­ty, Stan­ford Uni­ver­si­ty, Microsoft Corp., Google and Nvidia Corp. PIP Labs, an ini­tial core con­trib­u­tor to the Sto­ry Net­work, is backed by investors includ­ing a16z cryp­to, Endeav­or, and Poly­chain. Co-found­ed by a ser­i­al entre­pre­neur with a $440M exit and DeepMind’s youngest PM, PIP Labs boasts a vet­er­an found­ing exec­u­tive team with exper­tise in con­sumer tech, gen­er­a­tive AI, and Web3 infra­struc­ture. The start­up has also cre­at­ed oth­er AI agents for tasks like pre- and post-surgery wound care, extreme heat wave prepa­ra­tion, home health checks, dia­betes screen­ing and edu­ca­tion, and many more besides. The start­up said its AI Agent cre­ators include Dr. Vanes­sa Doris­mond MD, MA, MAS, a dis­tin­guished obste­tri­cian and gyne­col­o­gist at El Camino Women’s Med­ical Group and Teal Health, who helped to cre­ate an AI agent that’s focused on cer­vi­cal can­cer check-ins and enhanc­ing patient edu­ca­tion. Accord­ing to the start­up, the objec­tive of these AI agents is to try and solve the mas­sive short­age of trained nurs­es, social work­ers and nutri­tion­ists in the health­care indus­try, both in the U.S. and glob­al­ly.

The same day, a16z also led a Series A invest­ment in Sling­shot AI, which has raised a total of $40 mil­lion to cre­ate a foun­da­tion mod­el for psy­chol­o­gy. Those invest­ments high­light the com­mit­ment of the group to using AI to address impor­tant issues and are also focus­ing on how AI can improve dif­fer­ent indus­tries, includ­ing health­care and con­sumer ser­vices. In gen­er­al, a16z is com­mit­ted to sup­port­ing AI inno­va­tions that could have a pro­found impact on soci­ety. We are thrilled to see our mod­els used in Story’s blockchain tech­nol­o­gy to ensure prop­er attri­bu­tion and reward con­trib­u­tors,” said Scott Trow­bridge, Vice Pres­i­dent of Sta­bil­i­ty AI. Oth­ers include Kacie Spencer, DNP, RN, the chief nurs­ing offi­cer at Adtalem Glob­al Edu­ca­tion Inc., who has more than 20 years of expe­ri­ence in emer­gency nurs­ing and clin­i­cal edu­ca­tion. Her AI agent is focused on patient edu­ca­tion for the prop­er instal­la­tion of child car seats.

It par­tic­i­pat­ed in an Any­sphere round that had the com­pa­ny rais­ing $105 mil­lion on Jan­u­ary 14, 2025, when it pushed the val­u­a­tion up to $2.5 bil­lion. Beyond this, it has also released a $500 mil­lion Biotech Ecosys­tem Ven­ture Fund with Eli Lil­ly to place a focus on health tech­nolo­gies, but with the aspect of inno­v­a­tive appli­ca­tions. On the same day, they led a Series A invest­ment in Sling­shot AI, a com­pa­ny that’s devel­op­ing advanced gen­er­a­tive AI tech­nol­o­gy for men­tal health. Addi­tion­al­ly, a16z invest­ed in Rasp­ber­ry AI to bring gen­er­a­tive AI to the front of fash­ion design and pro­duc­tion. In Decem­ber 2024, they envi­sioned a future in which AI was used aggres­sive­ly in near­ly all sec­tors.

Shah said the last nine months since the company’s pre­vi­ous $50 mil­lion fund­ing round have seen it make tremen­dous progress. Dur­ing that time, it has received its first U.S. patents, ful­ly eval­u­at­ed and ver­i­fied the safe­ty of its first AI health­care agents, and signed con­tracts with 23 health sys­tems, pay­ers and phar­ma clients.

For instance, one of its AI agents is spe­cial­ized in chron­ic care man­age­ment, med­ica­tion checks and post-dis­charge fol­low-up regard­ing spe­cif­ic con­di­tions such as kid­ney fail­ure and con­ges­tive heart fail­ure. The health­care-focused arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence start­up Hip­po­crat­ic AI Inc. said today it has closed on a $141 mil­lion Series B fund­ing round that brings its total amount raised to more than $278 mil­lion. “This round of financ­ing will accel­er­ate the devel­op­ment and deploy­ment of the Hip­po­crat­ic gen­er­a­tive AI-dri­ven super staffing and con­tin­ue our quest to make health­care abun­dance a real­i­ty,” he promised. Rasp­ber­ry AI, the gen­er­a­tive AI plat­form for fash­ion cre­atives, has secured 24 mil­lion US dol­lars in Series A fund­ing led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Today, we’re going in-depth on blockchain inno­va­tion with Robert Roose, an entre­pre­neur who’s on a mis­sion to fix today’s bro­ken mon­e­tary sys­tem. Hip­po­crat­ic AI’s ear­ly cus­tomers include Arkos Health Inc., Belong Health Inc., Cincin­nati Children’s, Fras­er Health Author­i­ty (Cana­da), Guide­Health, Hon­or Health, Deca Den­tal Man­age­ment, LLC, Ohio­Health, WellSpan Health and oth­er well-known health­care sys­tems and hos­pi­tals.

By incor­po­rat­ing this wis­dom into its AI agents, it’s mak­ing them safer and improv­ing patient out­comes, it said. Cru­cial­ly, any agent cre­at­ed using its plat­form will under­go exten­sive safe­ty train­ing by both the cre­ator and Hip­po­crat­ic AI’s own staff. Every clin­i­cian will have access to a dash­board to track their AI agent’s per­for­mance and use and receive feed­back for fur­ther devel­op­ment.

All these indi­cate the com­mit­ment a16z has in shap­ing the future of tech­nol­o­gy and health­care through strate­gic invest­ments. Both plat­forms use Sta­bil­i­ty AI’s mod­els to bring cre­ators’ visions to life and Story’s blockchain tech­nol­o­gy to enable prove­nance and attri­bu­tion through­out the cre­ative process. These real-world appli­ca­tions high­light how cre­ators can safe­guard their intel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty while thriv­ing in a shared cre­ative econ­o­my. Rasp­ber­ry AI offers brands and man­u­fac­tur­ing cre­ative teams tech­nol­o­gy solu­tions, which can help accel­er­ate each stage of the fash­ion prod­uct devel­op­ment cycle to increase speed to mar­ket and prof­itabil­i­ty while reduc­ing costs. Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, is one of the lead­ing AI investors and tar­gets only inno­v­a­tive star­tups. They par­tic­i­pat­ed in the round that fund­ed Any­sphere on Jan­u­ary 14, 2025, with a total sum of $105 mil­lion for an AI cod­ing tool known as Cur­sor, whose val­u­a­tion has reached $2.5 bil­lion.

In order to ensure its AI agents can do their jobs safe­ly, Hip­po­crat­ic AI says it only works with licensed clin­i­cians to devel­op them, tak­ing steps to ver­i­fy their qual­i­fi­ca­tions and expe­ri­ence first. Once clin­i­cians have built their agents, they’ll be sub­mit­ted to the start­up for an ini­tial round of test­ing. Through the Hip­po­crat­ic AI Agent App Store, health­care orga­ni­za­tions and hos­pi­tals will be able to access a range of spe­cial­ized AI agents for dif­fer­ent aspects of med­ical care.

The start­up was co-found­ed by Chief Exec­u­tive Offi­cer and ser­i­al entre­pre­neur Mun­jal Shah and a group of physi­cians, hos­pi­tal admin­is­tra­tors, health­care pro­fes­sion­als and AI researchers from orga­ni­za­tions includ­ing El Camino Health LLC, Johns Hop­kins Uni­ver­si­ty, Stan­ford Uni­ver­si­ty, Microsoft Corp., Google and Nvidia Corp. PIP Labs, an ini­tial core con­trib­u­tor to the Sto­ry Net­work, is backed by investors includ­ing a16z cryp­to, Endeav­or, and Poly­chain. Co-found­ed by a ser­i­al entre­pre­neur with a $440M exit and DeepMind’s youngest PM, PIP Labs boasts a vet­er­an found­ing exec­u­tive team with exper­tise in con­sumer tech, gen­er­a­tive AI, and Web3 infra­struc­ture. The start­up has also cre­at­ed oth­er AI agents for tasks like pre- and post-surgery wound care, extreme heat wave prepa­ra­tion, home health checks, dia­betes screen­ing and edu­ca­tion, and many more besides. The start­up said its AI Agent cre­ators include Dr. Vanes­sa Doris­mond MD, MA, MAS, a dis­tin­guished obste­tri­cian and gyne­col­o­gist at El Camino Women’s Med­ical Group and Teal Health, who helped to cre­ate an AI agent that’s focused on cer­vi­cal can­cer check-ins and enhanc­ing patient edu­ca­tion. Accord­ing to the start­up, the objec­tive of these AI agents is to try and solve the mas­sive short­age of trained nurs­es, social work­ers and nutri­tion­ists in the health­care indus­try, both in the U.S. and glob­al­ly.

The same day, a16z also led a Series A invest­ment in Sling­shot AI, which has raised a total of $40 mil­lion to cre­ate a foun­da­tion mod­el for psy­chol­o­gy. Those invest­ments high­light the com­mit­ment of the group to using AI to address impor­tant issues and are also focus­ing on how AI can improve dif­fer­ent indus­tries, includ­ing health­care and con­sumer ser­vices. In gen­er­al, a16z is com­mit­ted to sup­port­ing AI inno­va­tions that could have a pro­found impact on soci­ety. We are thrilled to see our mod­els used in Story’s blockchain tech­nol­o­gy to ensure prop­er attri­bu­tion and reward con­trib­u­tors,” said Scott Trow­bridge, Vice Pres­i­dent of Sta­bil­i­ty AI. Oth­ers include Kacie Spencer, DNP, RN, the chief nurs­ing offi­cer at Adtalem Glob­al Edu­ca­tion Inc., who has more than 20 years of expe­ri­ence in emer­gency nurs­ing and clin­i­cal edu­ca­tion. Her AI agent is focused on patient edu­ca­tion for the prop­er instal­la­tion of child car seats.

It par­tic­i­pat­ed in an Any­sphere round that had the com­pa­ny rais­ing $105 mil­lion on Jan­u­ary 14, 2025, when it pushed the val­u­a­tion up to $2.5 bil­lion. Beyond this, it has also released a $500 mil­lion Biotech Ecosys­tem Ven­ture Fund with Eli Lil­ly to place a focus on health tech­nolo­gies, but with the aspect of inno­v­a­tive appli­ca­tions. On the same day, they led a Series A invest­ment in Sling­shot AI, a com­pa­ny that’s devel­op­ing advanced gen­er­a­tive AI tech­nol­o­gy for men­tal health. Addi­tion­al­ly, a16z invest­ed in Rasp­ber­ry AI to bring gen­er­a­tive AI to the front of fash­ion design and pro­duc­tion. In Decem­ber 2024, they envi­sioned a future in which AI was used aggres­sive­ly in near­ly all sec­tors.

The start­up was ini­tial­ly focused on cre­at­ing gen­er­a­tive AI chat­bots to sup­port clin­i­cians and oth­er health­care pro­fes­sion­als, but has since switched its focus to patients them­selves. Its most advanced mod­els take advan­tage of the lat­est devel­op­ments in AI agents, which are a form of AI that can per­form more com­plex tasks while work­ing unsu­per­vised. Despite rapid advance­ments in AI, cre­ators in open-source ecosys­tems face sig­nif­i­cant chal­lenges in mon­e­tiz­ing deriv­a­tive works and secur­ing prop­er attri­bu­tion.

In a state­ment, Rasp­ber­ry AI said the fund­ing would be used to accel­er­ate its prod­uct devel­op­ment and add top engi­neer­ing, sales and mar­ket­ing tal­ent to its team. But with U.S. com­pa­nies rais­ing and/or spend­ing record sums on new AI infra­struc­ture that many experts have not­ed depre­ci­ate rapid­ly (due to hardware/chip and soft­ware advance­ments), the ques­tion remains which vision of the future will win out in the end to become the dom­i­nant AI provider for the world. Or maybe it will always be a mul­ti­plic­i­ty of mod­els each with a small­er mar­ket share? That’s fol­lowed by more exten­sive eval­u­a­tions and safe­ty assess­ments by an exten­sive net­work of more than 6,000 nurs­es and 300 doc­tors, who will con­firm that it pass­es all required safe­ty tests.

Once the AI agent is up and run­ning, the clin­i­cians who cre­at­ed it will be able to claim a share of the rev­enue it gen­er­ates from the startup’s cus­tomers. Cur­rent­ly the tech­nol­o­gy is being used by Under Armour, MCM World­wide, Grup­po Ted­dy and Li & Fung to cre­ate and iter­ate appar­el, footwear and acces­sories styles. The company’s exist­ing investors Grey­croft, Cor­re­la­tion Ven­tures and MVP Ven­tures also joined in the round, along with notable angel investors, includ­ing Gokul Rajaram and Ken Pilot. Clear­ly, even as he espous­es a com­mit­ment to open source AI, Zuck is not con­vinced that DeepSeek’s approach of opti­miz­ing for effi­cien­cy while lever­ag­ing far few­er GPUs than major labs is the right one for Meta, or for the future of AI.

Sto­ry aims to bridge this gap by com­bin­ing Sta­bil­i­ty AI’s cut­ting-edge tech­nol­o­gy with blockchain’s abil­i­ty to secure dig­i­tal prop­er­ty rights. For exam­ple, cre­ators could reg­is­ter unique styles or voic­es as intel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty on Sto­ry with trans­par­ent usage terms.

Hol­ger Mueller of Con­stel­la­tion Research Inc. said Hip­po­crat­ic AI is bring­ing two of the lead­ing tech­nol­o­gy trends to the health­care indus­try, name­ly no-code or low-code soft­ware devel­op­ment and AI agents. The launch is a bold step for­ward in health­care inno­va­tion, giv­ing clin­i­cians the oppor­tu­ni­ty to par­tic­i­pate in the design of AI agents that can address var­i­ous aspects of patient care. It says clin­i­cians can cre­ate an AI agent pro­to­type that spe­cial­izes in their area of focus in less than 30 min­utes, and around three to four hours to devel­op one that can be test­ed. Shah said the last nine months since the company’s pre­vi­ous $50 mil­lion fund­ing round have seen it make tremen­dous progress. Dur­ing that time, it has received its first U.S. patents, ful­ly eval­u­at­ed and ver­i­fied the safe­ty of its first AI health­care agents, and signed con­tracts with 23 health sys­tems, pay­ers and phar­ma clients.

For instance, one of its AI agents is spe­cial­ized in chron­ic care man­age­ment, med­ica­tion checks and post-dis­charge fol­low-up regard­ing spe­cif­ic con­di­tions such as kid­ney fail­ure and con­ges­tive heart fail­ure. The health­care-focused arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence start­up Hip­po­crat­ic AI Inc. said today it has closed on a $141 mil­lion Series B fund­ing round that brings its total amount raised to more than $278 mil­lion. “This round of financ­ing will accel­er­ate the devel­op­ment and deploy­ment of the Hip­po­crat­ic gen­er­a­tive AI-dri­ven super staffing and con­tin­ue our quest to make health­care abun­dance a real­i­ty,” he promised.

By incor­po­rat­ing this wis­dom into its AI agents, it’s mak­ing them safer and improv­ing patient out­comes, it said. Cru­cial­ly, any agent cre­at­ed using its plat­form will under­go exten­sive safe­ty train­ing by both the cre­ator and Hip­po­crat­ic AI’s own staff.

Hol­ger Mueller of Con­stel­la­tion Research Inc. said Hip­po­crat­ic AI is bring­ing two of the lead­ing tech­nol­o­gy trends to the health­care indus­try, name­ly no-code or low-code soft­ware devel­op­ment and AI agents. The launch is a bold step for­ward in health­care inno­va­tion, giv­ing clin­i­cians the oppor­tu­ni­ty to par­tic­i­pate in the design of AI agents that can address var­i­ous aspects of patient care. It says clin­i­cians can cre­ate an AI agent pro­to­type that spe­cial­izes in their area of focus in less than 30 min­utes, and around three to four hours to devel­op one that can be test­ed. Shah said the last nine months since the company’s pre­vi­ous $50 mil­lion fund­ing round have seen it make tremen­dous progress. Dur­ing that time, it has received its first U.S. patents, ful­ly eval­u­at­ed and ver­i­fied the safe­ty of its first AI health­care agents, and signed con­tracts with 23 health sys­tems, pay­ers and phar­ma clients.

For instance, one of its AI agents is spe­cial­ized in chron­ic care man­age­ment, med­ica­tion checks and post-dis­charge fol­low-up regard­ing spe­cif­ic con­di­tions such as kid­ney fail­ure and con­ges­tive heart fail­ure. The health­care-focused arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence start­up Hip­po­crat­ic AI Inc. said today it has closed on a $141 mil­lion Series B fund­ing round that brings its total amount raised to more than $278 mil­lion. “This round of financ­ing will accel­er­ate the devel­op­ment and deploy­ment of the Hip­po­crat­ic gen­er­a­tive AI-dri­ven super staffing and con­tin­ue our quest to make health­care abun­dance a real­i­ty,” he promised. Rasp­ber­ry AI, the gen­er­a­tive AI plat­form for fash­ion cre­atives, has secured 24 mil­lion US dol­lars in Series A fund­ing led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Today, we’re going in-depth on blockchain inno­va­tion with Robert Roose, an entre­pre­neur who’s on a mis­sion to fix today’s bro­ken mon­e­tary sys­tem. Hip­po­crat­ic AI’s ear­ly cus­tomers include Arkos Health Inc., Belong Health Inc., Cincin­nati Children’s, Fras­er Health Author­i­ty (Cana­da), Guide­Health, Hon­or Health, Deca Den­tal Man­age­ment, LLC, Ohio­Health, WellSpan Health and oth­er well-known health­care sys­tems and hos­pi­tals.

By incor­po­rat­ing this wis­dom into its AI agents, it’s mak­ing them safer and improv­ing patient out­comes, it said. Cru­cial­ly, any agent cre­at­ed using its plat­form will under­go exten­sive safe­ty train­ing by both the cre­ator and Hip­po­crat­ic AI’s own staff. Every clin­i­cian will have access to a dash­board to track their AI agent’s per­for­mance and use and receive feed­back for fur­ther devel­op­ment.

All these indi­cate the com­mit­ment a16z has in shap­ing the future of tech­nol­o­gy and health­care through strate­gic invest­ments. Both plat­forms use Sta­bil­i­ty AI’s mod­els to bring cre­ators’ visions to life and Story’s blockchain tech­nol­o­gy to enable prove­nance and attri­bu­tion through­out the cre­ative process. These real-world appli­ca­tions high­light how cre­ators can safe­guard their intel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty while thriv­ing in a shared cre­ative econ­o­my. Rasp­ber­ry AI offers brands and man­u­fac­tur­ing cre­ative teams tech­nol­o­gy solu­tions, which can help accel­er­ate each stage of the fash­ion prod­uct devel­op­ment cycle to increase speed to mar­ket and prof­itabil­i­ty while reduc­ing costs. Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, is one of the lead­ing AI investors and tar­gets only inno­v­a­tive star­tups. They par­tic­i­pat­ed in the round that fund­ed Any­sphere on Jan­u­ary 14, 2025, with a total sum of $105 mil­lion for an AI cod­ing tool known as Cur­sor, whose val­u­a­tion has reached $2.5 bil­lion.

In order to ensure its AI agents can do their jobs safe­ly, Hip­po­crat­ic AI says it only works with licensed clin­i­cians to devel­op them, tak­ing steps to ver­i­fy their qual­i­fi­ca­tions and expe­ri­ence first. Once clin­i­cians have built their agents, they’ll be sub­mit­ted to the start­up for an ini­tial round of test­ing. Through the Hip­po­crat­ic AI Agent App Store, health­care orga­ni­za­tions and hos­pi­tals will be able to access a range of spe­cial­ized AI agents for dif­fer­ent aspects of med­ical care.

The start­up was co-found­ed by Chief Exec­u­tive Offi­cer and ser­i­al entre­pre­neur Mun­jal Shah and a group of physi­cians, hos­pi­tal admin­is­tra­tors, health­care pro­fes­sion­als and AI researchers from orga­ni­za­tions includ­ing El Camino Health LLC, Johns Hop­kins Uni­ver­si­ty, Stan­ford Uni­ver­si­ty, Microsoft Corp., Google and Nvidia Corp. PIP Labs, an ini­tial core con­trib­u­tor to the Sto­ry Net­work, is backed by investors includ­ing a16z cryp­to, Endeav­or, and Poly­chain. Co-found­ed by a ser­i­al entre­pre­neur with a $440M exit and DeepMind’s youngest PM, PIP Labs boasts a vet­er­an found­ing exec­u­tive team with exper­tise in con­sumer tech, gen­er­a­tive AI, and Web3 infra­struc­ture. The start­up has also cre­at­ed oth­er AI agents for tasks like pre- and post-surgery wound care, extreme heat wave prepa­ra­tion, home health checks, dia­betes screen­ing and edu­ca­tion, and many more besides. The start­up said its AI Agent cre­ators include Dr. Vanes­sa Doris­mond MD, MA, MAS, a dis­tin­guished obste­tri­cian and gyne­col­o­gist at El Camino Women’s Med­ical Group and Teal Health, who helped to cre­ate an AI agent that’s focused on cer­vi­cal can­cer check-ins and enhanc­ing patient edu­ca­tion. Accord­ing to the start­up, the objec­tive of these AI agents is to try and solve the mas­sive short­age of trained nurs­es, social work­ers and nutri­tion­ists in the health­care indus­try, both in the U.S. and glob­al­ly.

The same day, a16z also led a Series A invest­ment in Sling­shot AI, which has raised a total of $40 mil­lion to cre­ate a foun­da­tion mod­el for psy­chol­o­gy. Those invest­ments high­light the com­mit­ment of the group to using AI to address impor­tant issues and are also focus­ing on how AI can improve dif­fer­ent indus­tries, includ­ing health­care and con­sumer ser­vices. In gen­er­al, a16z is com­mit­ted to sup­port­ing AI inno­va­tions that could have a pro­found impact on soci­ety. We are thrilled to see our mod­els used in Story’s blockchain tech­nol­o­gy to ensure prop­er attri­bu­tion and reward con­trib­u­tors,” said Scott Trow­bridge, Vice Pres­i­dent of Sta­bil­i­ty AI. Oth­ers include Kacie Spencer, DNP, RN, the chief nurs­ing offi­cer at Adtalem Glob­al Edu­ca­tion Inc., who has more than 20 years of expe­ri­ence in emer­gency nurs­ing and clin­i­cal edu­ca­tion. Her AI agent is focused on patient edu­ca­tion for the prop­er instal­la­tion of child car seats.

It par­tic­i­pat­ed in an Any­sphere round that had the com­pa­ny rais­ing $105 mil­lion on Jan­u­ary 14, 2025, when it pushed the val­u­a­tion up to $2.5 bil­lion. Beyond this, it has also released a $500 mil­lion Biotech Ecosys­tem Ven­ture Fund with Eli Lil­ly to place a focus on health tech­nolo­gies, but with the aspect of inno­v­a­tive appli­ca­tions. On the same day, they led a Series A invest­ment in Sling­shot AI, a com­pa­ny that’s devel­op­ing advanced gen­er­a­tive AI tech­nol­o­gy for men­tal health. Addi­tion­al­ly, a16z invest­ed in Rasp­ber­ry AI to bring gen­er­a­tive AI to the front of fash­ion design and pro­duc­tion. In Decem­ber 2024, they envi­sioned a future in which AI was used aggres­sive­ly in near­ly all sec­tors.

Mean­while, Kristi­na Dulaney, RN, PMH-C, the founder of Cher­ished Mom, an orga­ni­za­tion ded­i­cat­ed to solv­ing mater­nal men­tal health chal­lenges, helped to cre­ate an AI agent that’s focused on help­ing new moth­ers nav­i­gate such prob­lems with post­par­tum men­tal health assess­ments and depres­sion screen­ing. The start­up was ini­tial­ly focused on cre­at­ing gen­er­a­tive AI chat­bots to sup­port clin­i­cians and oth­er health­care pro­fes­sion­als, but has since switched its focus to patients them­selves. Its most advanced mod­els take advan­tage of the lat­est devel­op­ments in AI agents, which are a form of AI that can per­form more com­plex tasks while work­ing unsu­per­vised. Despite rapid advance­ments in AI, cre­ators in open-source ecosys­tems face sig­nif­i­cant chal­lenges in mon­e­tiz­ing deriv­a­tive works and secur­ing prop­er attri­bu­tion.

Sto­ry, the glob­al intel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty blockchain, has announced its inte­gra­tion with Sta­bil­i­ty AI’s state-of-the-art mod­els to rev­o­lu­tion­ize open-source AI devel­op­ment. This col­lab­o­ra­tion enables cre­ators, devel­op­ers, and artists to cap­ture the val­ue they con­tribute to the AI ecosys­tem by lever­ag­ing blockchain tech­nol­o­gy to ensure prop­er attri­bu­tion, track­ing, and mon­e­ti­za­tion of cre­ative works gen­er­at­ed through AI. Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, is invest­ing in AI and biotech to lead the way in inno­va­tion.

In a state­ment, Rasp­ber­ry AI said the fund­ing would be used to accel­er­ate its prod­uct devel­op­ment and add top engi­neer­ing, sales and mar­ket­ing tal­ent to its team. But with U.S. com­pa­nies rais­ing and/or spend­ing record sums on new AI infra­struc­ture that many experts have not­ed depre­ci­ate rapid­ly (due to hardware/chip and soft­ware advance­ments), the ques­tion remains which vision of the future will win out in the end to become the dom­i­nant AI provider for the world. Or maybe it will always be a mul­ti­plic­i­ty of mod­els each with a small­er mar­ket share? That’s fol­lowed by more exten­sive eval­u­a­tions and safe­ty assess­ments by an exten­sive net­work of more than 6,000 nurs­es and 300 doc­tors, who will con­firm that it pass­es all required safe­ty tests.

Once the AI agent is up and run­ning, the clin­i­cians who cre­at­ed it will be able to claim a share of the rev­enue it gen­er­ates from the startup’s cus­tomers. Cur­rent­ly the tech­nol­o­gy is being used by Under Armour, MCM World­wide, Grup­po Ted­dy and Li & Fung to cre­ate and iter­ate appar­el, footwear and acces­sories styles. The company’s exist­ing investors Grey­croft, Cor­re­la­tion Ven­tures and MVP Ven­tures also joined in the round, along with notable angel investors, includ­ing Gokul Rajaram and Ken Pilot. Clear­ly, even as he espous­es a com­mit­ment to open source AI, Zuck is not con­vinced that DeepSeek’s approach of opti­miz­ing for effi­cien­cy while lever­ag­ing far few­er GPUs than major labs is the right one for Meta, or for the future of AI.

Its most advanced mod­els take advan­tage of the lat­est devel­op­ments in AI agents, which are a form of AI that can per­form more com­plex tasks while work­ing unsu­per­vised. Despite rapid advance­ments in AI, cre­ators in open-source ecosys­tems face sig­nif­i­cant chal­lenges in mon­e­tiz­ing deriv­a­tive works and secur­ing prop­er attri­bu­tion.

Sto­ry, the glob­al intel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty blockchain, has announced its inte­gra­tion with Sta­bil­i­ty AI’s state-of-the-art mod­els to rev­o­lu­tion­ize open-source AI devel­op­ment. This col­lab­o­ra­tion enables cre­ators, devel­op­ers, and artists to cap­ture the val­ue they con­tribute to the AI ecosys­tem by lever­ag­ing blockchain tech­nol­o­gy to ensure prop­er attri­bu­tion, track­ing, and mon­e­ti­za­tion of cre­ative works gen­er­at­ed through AI.

In a state­ment, Rasp­ber­ry AI said the fund­ing would be used to accel­er­ate its prod­uct devel­op­ment and add top engi­neer­ing, sales and mar­ket­ing tal­ent to its team. But with U.S. com­pa­nies rais­ing and/or spend­ing record sums on new AI infra­struc­ture that many experts have not­ed depre­ci­ate rapid­ly (due to hardware/chip and soft­ware advance­ments), the ques­tion remains which vision of the future will win out in the end to become the dom­i­nant AI provider for the world. Or maybe it will always be a mul­ti­plic­i­ty of mod­els each with a small­er mar­ket share? That’s fol­lowed by more exten­sive eval­u­a­tions and safe­ty assess­ments by an exten­sive net­work of more than 6,000 nurs­es and 300 doc­tors, who will con­firm that it pass­es all required safe­ty tests.

Once the AI agent is up and run­ning, the clin­i­cians who cre­at­ed it will be able to claim a share of the rev­enue it gen­er­ates from the startup’s cus­tomers. Cur­rent­ly the tech­nol­o­gy is being used by Under Armour, MCM World­wide, Grup­po Ted­dy and Li & Fung to cre­ate and iter­ate appar­el, footwear and acces­sories styles.

Hol­ger Mueller of Con­stel­la­tion Research Inc. said Hip­po­crat­ic AI is bring­ing two of the lead­ing tech­nol­o­gy trends to the health­care indus­try, name­ly no-code or low-code soft­ware devel­op­ment and AI agents. The launch is a bold step for­ward in health­care inno­va­tion, giv­ing clin­i­cians the oppor­tu­ni­ty to par­tic­i­pate in the design of AI agents that can address var­i­ous aspects of patient care. It says clin­i­cians can cre­ate an AI agent pro­to­type that spe­cial­izes in their area of focus in less than 30 min­utes, and around three to four hours to devel­op one that can be test­ed. Shah said the last nine months since the company’s pre­vi­ous $50 mil­lion fund­ing round have seen it make tremen­dous progress. Dur­ing that time, it has received its first U.S. patents, ful­ly eval­u­at­ed and ver­i­fied the safe­ty of its first AI health­care agents, and signed con­tracts with 23 health sys­tems, pay­ers and phar­ma clients.

For instance, one of its AI agents is spe­cial­ized in chron­ic care man­age­ment, med­ica­tion checks and post-dis­charge fol­low-up regard­ing spe­cif­ic con­di­tions such as kid­ney fail­ure and con­ges­tive heart fail­ure. The health­care-focused arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence start­up Hip­po­crat­ic AI Inc. said today it has closed on a $141 mil­lion Series B fund­ing round that brings its total amount raised to more than $278 mil­lion. “This round of financ­ing will accel­er­ate the devel­op­ment and deploy­ment of the Hip­po­crat­ic gen­er­a­tive AI-dri­ven super staffing and con­tin­ue our quest to make health­care abun­dance a real­i­ty,” he promised. Rasp­ber­ry AI, the gen­er­a­tive AI plat­form for fash­ion cre­atives, has secured 24 mil­lion US dol­lars in Series A fund­ing led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Today, we’re going in-depth on blockchain inno­va­tion with Robert Roose, an entre­pre­neur who’s on a mis­sion to fix today’s bro­ken mon­e­tary sys­tem. Hip­po­crat­ic AI’s ear­ly cus­tomers include Arkos Health Inc., Belong Health Inc., Cincin­nati Children’s, Fras­er Health Author­i­ty (Cana­da), Guide­Health, Hon­or Health, Deca Den­tal Man­age­ment, LLC, Ohio­Health, WellSpan Health and oth­er well-known health­care sys­tems and hos­pi­tals.

By incor­po­rat­ing this wis­dom into its AI agents, it’s mak­ing them safer and improv­ing patient out­comes, it said. Cru­cial­ly, any agent cre­at­ed using its plat­form will under­go exten­sive safe­ty train­ing by both the cre­ator and Hip­po­crat­ic AI’s own staff. Every clin­i­cian will have access to a dash­board to track their AI agent’s per­for­mance and use and receive feed­back for fur­ther devel­op­ment.

All these indi­cate the com­mit­ment a16z has in shap­ing the future of tech­nol­o­gy and health­care through strate­gic invest­ments. Both plat­forms use Sta­bil­i­ty AI’s mod­els to bring cre­ators’ visions to life and Story’s blockchain tech­nol­o­gy to enable prove­nance and attri­bu­tion through­out the cre­ative process. These real-world appli­ca­tions high­light how cre­ators can safe­guard their intel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty while thriv­ing in a shared cre­ative econ­o­my. Rasp­ber­ry AI offers brands and man­u­fac­tur­ing cre­ative teams tech­nol­o­gy solu­tions, which can help accel­er­ate each stage of the fash­ion prod­uct devel­op­ment cycle to increase speed to mar­ket and prof­itabil­i­ty while reduc­ing costs. Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, is one of the lead­ing AI investors and tar­gets only inno­v­a­tive star­tups. They par­tic­i­pat­ed in the round that fund­ed Any­sphere on Jan­u­ary 14, 2025, with a total sum of $105 mil­lion for an AI cod­ing tool known as Cur­sor, whose val­u­a­tion has reached $2.5 bil­lion.

In order to ensure its AI agents can do their jobs safe­ly, Hip­po­crat­ic AI says it only works with licensed clin­i­cians to devel­op them, tak­ing steps to ver­i­fy their qual­i­fi­ca­tions and expe­ri­ence first. Once clin­i­cians have built their agents, they’ll be sub­mit­ted to the start­up for an ini­tial round of test­ing. Through the Hip­po­crat­ic AI Agent App Store, health­care orga­ni­za­tions and hos­pi­tals will be able to access a range of spe­cial­ized AI agents for dif­fer­ent aspects of med­ical care.

The start­up was co-found­ed by Chief Exec­u­tive Offi­cer and ser­i­al entre­pre­neur Mun­jal Shah and a group of physi­cians, hos­pi­tal admin­is­tra­tors, health­care pro­fes­sion­als and AI researchers from orga­ni­za­tions includ­ing El Camino Health LLC, Johns Hop­kins Uni­ver­si­ty, Stan­ford Uni­ver­si­ty, Microsoft Corp., Google and Nvidia Corp. PIP Labs, an ini­tial core con­trib­u­tor to the Sto­ry Net­work, is backed by investors includ­ing a16z cryp­to, Endeav­or, and Poly­chain. Co-found­ed by a ser­i­al entre­pre­neur with a $440M exit and DeepMind’s youngest PM, PIP Labs boasts a vet­er­an found­ing exec­u­tive team with exper­tise in con­sumer tech, gen­er­a­tive AI, and Web3 infra­struc­ture. The start­up has also cre­at­ed oth­er AI agents for tasks like pre- and post-surgery wound care, extreme heat wave prepa­ra­tion, home health checks, dia­betes screen­ing and edu­ca­tion, and many more besides. The start­up said its AI Agent cre­ators include Dr. Vanes­sa Doris­mond MD, MA, MAS, a dis­tin­guished obste­tri­cian and gyne­col­o­gist at El Camino Women’s Med­ical Group and Teal Health, who helped to cre­ate an AI agent that’s focused on cer­vi­cal can­cer check-ins and enhanc­ing patient edu­ca­tion. Accord­ing to the start­up, the objec­tive of these AI agents is to try and solve the mas­sive short­age of trained nurs­es, social work­ers and nutri­tion­ists in the health­care indus­try, both in the U.S. and glob­al­ly.

The same day, a16z also led a Series A invest­ment in Sling­shot AI, which has raised a total of $40 mil­lion to cre­ate a foun­da­tion mod­el for psy­chol­o­gy. Those invest­ments high­light the com­mit­ment of the group to using AI to address impor­tant issues and are also focus­ing on how AI can improve dif­fer­ent indus­tries, includ­ing health­care and con­sumer ser­vices. In gen­er­al, a16z is com­mit­ted to sup­port­ing AI inno­va­tions that could have a pro­found impact on soci­ety. We are thrilled to see our mod­els used in Story’s blockchain tech­nol­o­gy to ensure prop­er attri­bu­tion and reward con­trib­u­tors,” said Scott Trow­bridge, Vice Pres­i­dent of Sta­bil­i­ty AI. Oth­ers include Kacie Spencer, DNP, RN, the chief nurs­ing offi­cer at Adtalem Glob­al Edu­ca­tion Inc., who has more than 20 years of expe­ri­ence in emer­gency nurs­ing and clin­i­cal edu­ca­tion. Her AI agent is focused on patient edu­ca­tion for the prop­er instal­la­tion of child car seats.

It par­tic­i­pat­ed in an Any­sphere round that had the com­pa­ny rais­ing $105 mil­lion on Jan­u­ary 14, 2025, when it pushed the val­u­a­tion up to $2.5 bil­lion. Beyond this, it has also released a $500 mil­lion Biotech Ecosys­tem Ven­ture Fund with Eli Lil­ly to place a focus on health tech­nolo­gies, but with the aspect of inno­v­a­tive appli­ca­tions. On the same day, they led a Series A invest­ment in Sling­shot AI, a com­pa­ny that’s devel­op­ing advanced gen­er­a­tive AI tech­nol­o­gy for men­tal health. Addi­tion­al­ly, a16z invest­ed in Rasp­ber­ry AI to bring gen­er­a­tive AI to the front of fash­ion design and pro­duc­tion. In Decem­ber 2024, they envi­sioned a future in which AI was used aggres­sive­ly in near­ly all sec­tors.

It par­tic­i­pat­ed in an Any­sphere round that had the com­pa­ny rais­ing $105 mil­lion on Jan­u­ary 14, 2025, when it pushed the val­u­a­tion up to $2.5 bil­lion. Beyond this, it has also released a $500 mil­lion Biotech Ecosys­tem Ven­ture Fund with Eli Lil­ly to place a focus on health tech­nolo­gies, but with the aspect of inno­v­a­tive appli­ca­tions. On the same day, they led a Series A invest­ment in Sling­shot AI, a com­pa­ny that’s devel­op­ing advanced gen­er­a­tive AI tech­nol­o­gy for men­tal health. Addi­tion­al­ly, a16z invest­ed in Rasp­ber­ry AI to bring gen­er­a­tive AI to the front of fash­ion design and pro­duc­tion. In Decem­ber 2024, they envi­sioned a future in which AI was used aggres­sive­ly in near­ly all sec­tors.

• The start­up said its AI Agent cre­ators include Dr. Vanes­sa Doris­mond MD, MA, MAS, a dis­tin­guished obste­tri­cian and gyne­col­o­gist at El Camino Women’s Med­ical Group and Teal Health, who helped to cre­ate an AI agent that’s focused on cer­vi­cal can­cer check-ins and enhanc­ing patient edu­ca­tion.
• Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, is one of the lead­ing AI investors and tar­gets only inno­v­a­tive star­tups.
• Hip­po­crat­ic AI said it’s nec­es­sary to have clin­i­cians onboard because they have, over the course of their careers, devel­oped deep exper­tise in their respec­tive fields, as well as the prac­ti­cal insights to help cure spe­cif­ic med­ical con­di­tions and the clin­i­cal work­flows involved.
• It says clin­i­cians can cre­ate an AI agent pro­to­type that spe­cial­izes in their area of focus in less than 30 min­utes, and around three to four hours to devel­op one that can be test­ed.
