AO Labs | Building an alternative to backpropagation | https://www.aolabs.ai/ | Berkeley, CA + remote

AI systems struggle with edge cases and understanding local context despite increasing model sizes. From our research at UC Berkeley into the evolution of intelligence from simple organisms, we’ve discovered the missing link is continuous learning (deep learning is pre-trained by design). Models built with our framework learn through customizable parameters similar to animal instincts, allowing for AI grounded with built-in memory and reasoning. We're a community of 160+ developers and researchers building general intelligence from the bottom-up from places like Berkeley, NYU, Imperial College, and Google.

We're building way outside of the current paradigm and we're looking for collaborators at all levels --hackers, contributors, the curious-- as we'll be making our first hires soon. Email with "HN Hiring" in subject line to: ali at aolabs.ai or chat with us in our discord: https://discord.gg/Zg9bHPYss5

This post is near identical to mine from last month; if you reached out then, please know that I'll respond to you soon (I've been busy wrapping up a fundraise).

Uh this looks a bit too egregious of an attempt at misrepresentation, or deception.

This is not research originating from a UC Berkeley graduate, just like Lex Fridman (real name Alexei Alexandrowitsch Fedotow) is not an MIT lecturer, was not a MIT student, but is actually from Drexel U but likes to fraudulently misrepresent himself as an MIT graduate lecturer in his profile descriptions.

This AO Labs guy is not a real lab but a lone foreign guy who applied to a small grant from UC Berkeley, which gave him the one-time small grant that expired a long time ago and they have rejected him for grant renewal. Therefore a reject.

His AO Labs does not have a community of 160+ researchers from Berkeley NYU Google, or you have to wonder how incompetent are the "160" that none of them can even make a functioning simple FAQ web page.

Interesting note from lakrikor1 from the other comment.

You can also look up his videos, which are long but manage to say nothing of substance. A lot of spoken nonsense that shows his lack of understanding on how animals and organisms actually think.
