Inflection AI
Inflection AI is a Palo Alto-based artificial intelligence company, structured as a public benefit corporation, founded in 2022 by Mustafa Suleyman, Reid Hoffman, and Karen Simonyan. Originally known for the empathetic consumer chatbot Pi and its Inflection large language models, the company was reshaped in March 2024 after Microsoft licensed its technology for roughly $650 million and hired most of its team. Under CEO Sean White, Inflection re-founded itself as an enterprise-focused AI provider, selling data-secure, customizable models (Inflection 3.0) that let organizations own their intelligence, data, and infrastructure - including an on-premises appliance developed with Intel.
Every Inc.
Every is a New York-based applied AI lab and media company that bundles a daily AI newsletter, a suite of consumer AI software products, and a consulting arm under one subscription. Founded by Dan Shipper and Nathan Baschez in 2020 as a bundle of business newsletters, it has evolved into an AI-native studio that ships products like Cora (email), Spiral (writing), Sparkle (file organization), and Monologue (voice dictation) - largely built with AI-written code by a team of roughly two dozen people.
