Okay, what is it?

It's a new AI startup founded by researchers from Anthropic, XAI, and Google.

And they're going to build AI that helps people collaborate.

That's their focus.

So this is very cool.

One of the co-founders, Andy Peng, left Anthropic over its autonomy focus, saying they love to highlight how the models churn for 8, 24, or 50 hours by themselves.

But that's not co-intelligence like Ethan Mollick described it, where AI is working with the humans and the humans are working with the AI.

And so this company, Humans N, with an incredible treasure chest to do it,

is going to work on human AI co-intelligence and collaboration and building that that way.

The team, by the way, includes Google's seventh employee, a guy named Georges Harik, two former XAI researchers who worked on Grok,

And Stanford professor Noah Goodman.

So I think that means that Noah Goodman, I'm going to check into this later, but did Noah Goodman leave Stanford to be a part of this startup?

Or is he just like, he's dual purpose here?

All right.

So humans and doing that.

I'm really looking forward to what changes in the delivery model and in the

in the capability set of an AI platform that's focused on human collaboration.

Well, there will be differential levels of implementation depending on the function.

But I would have argued that the face-to-face or voice-to-voice human interactions of customer support would be something that would have some ongoing retention of responsibility among humans in the enterprise.

But that didn't turn out right because the voice capabilities, and by the way, NVIDIA just released a new system called PersonaPlex, which is a full duplex conversational speech model.
