Summary
P-1 AI Comes Out of Stealth, Aims to Build Engineering AGI for Physical SystemsCo-founded by a former Airbus CTO and an ex-DeepMind researcher, the company announces a $23 million seed financing round led by Radical VenturesSAN FRANCISCO, April 28, 2025-- Where is the AI that will ultimately help us design and build starships, Matrioshka Brains, and Dyson Spheres? Co-founded by former Airbus and United Technologies CTO and DARPA executive, Paul Eremenko, and prominent AI researcher Aleksa Gordi, formerly at Google DeepMind and Microsoft (as well as several other co-founders), the company initially aims to deliver a capability at the level of a junior engineer, with a rapid improvement trajectory from human feedback and learning from real-world data. The initial focus is training Archie on product domains in the built world, then expanding to various mobility verticals, and culminating in aerospace and defense applications. The company is looking for mission-motivated applied AI researchers to join its office in San Franciscos Mission district and for cracked engineers nationwide for remote roles.
