With Nvidia joining its investment round, the startup, co-founded byLinkedIncreator Reid Hoffman, said it has access to 22,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, the most sought-after AI industry today, costing $40,000 apiece.

OpenAI reportedly sought $10 billion from Microsoft at a $29 billion valuation, a lead investor in the ChatGPT-maker.

Pi, Inflections chatbot, can have personal conversations with users directly via an app or through text,Meta Platforms, Inc(NASDAQ:META),WhatsApp,Instagram, orFacebook.

At its May launch, Suleyman described the chatbot as having the persona of a sympathetic sounding board rather than trying to provide information. The product is meant purely for casual conversation, which makes it safer and easier to control, Suleyman said.

Suleyman founded Inflection after he quit Google in 2022.

Suleyman left DeepMind in 2019 following an independent investigation into bullying and harassment accusations against him.
