UpNano GmbH secures €7M Series A funding! Austrian micro 3D printing company UpNano GmbH, founded by Bernhard Kueenburg and Peter Gruber, has raised €7M ($7.578M) in a Series A round led by aws Gründungsfonds, NovaCapital, and I-GO: Innovation on the Go. This investment will accelerate the development of UpNano GmbH’s next-gen 2-photon polymerization (2PP) 3D printing technology, already revolutionizing industries like biomedicine, electronics, and photonics. But here’s the billion-dollar question: Can UpNano solve the challenge of scaling 2PP technology from niche applications to full industrial production — while maintaining the same high precision and speed? If they do, they’ll be on the path to becoming a billion-dollar leader in manufacturing technology. What’s your take on scaling high-precision 3D printing for mass production?

💡 One IBot for every household? ⏳ Bridging the time to production-grade commodity physical AI systems THE DECODER reports in their newsletter (https://lnkd.in/dt5DDMKW) that OpenAI makes more definite moves towards designing the physical medium to transport truly multimodal AI agents to broader customer segments. As I follow the discussions in the local and English speaking communities, I sense a strong focus on (partially) humanoid robots geared towards repetitive, strenuous, complex or dangerous tasks or autonomous vehicles mostly related to some transportation issues (material, goods, people) on streets, on the sea or even in the air. Further, as Dr. Karsten Brensing succinctly outlines in his book from a behavioral biologist’s perspective, inspiration is drawn from ecosystems of other animals than humans that outperform humans in certain tasks while keeping the rather unique capabilities of cooperating. However, as the mass market is in question and the market itself will be somewhat undefined initially as we still don’t have reached the end of software defined capabilities, it will be interesting to see which hardware type comes closest to Altman’s vision of an AI assistant. I guess there won’t be a single and a fixed mindset answer in the initial stages. Personally, after reflecting on my day-to-day activities where I could benefit from an AI assistant in the style of a Jarvis-like “IBot”, I would find a consumer grade drone like the ones from the present market leader DJI quite adequate. It is mobile, it has a cam and a mic doesn’t seem too challenging, connectivity to network devices seems doable and with a reverse SORA the navigation as well as user-adaptivity properties could be augmented compared to the speech only mode that OpenAI is currently evaluating. The main advantage compared to the usual stationary smart home assistants like Amazon’s Alexa lies in a (limited) mobility in three dimensions. This helps if you try to repair something for example. Of course, all this is purely speculative but why not think about what could be on a Sunday afternoon? However, the advancements in the fields have been remarkable and I am definitely eager to see what comes next.

Graypes GmbH to Discontinue Use of OpenAI's ChatGPT ! I'm writing to inform our customers, partners and my LinkedIn community of a significant change in our #AI integration strategy at Graypes GmbH. Effective July 1, 2024, Graypes GmbH will cease using OpenAI's ChatGPT in our IRIS search engine. This decision comes after careful consideration of several alarming trust concerns and issues with OpenAI. Graypes GmbH has been a pioneer in the field of #AI, utilizing both our own AI models and ChatGPT as early as March 2022, well before the global surge in #AI adoption. However, recent developments have raised substantial concerns, prompting this change: 🚩 Leadership Departures: The resignations of Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike, key figures in trust and ethics at OpenAI, have raised questions about the company's commitment to these critical values. 🚩 Profit-Driven Shift: OpenAI’s transition from a non-profit to a profit-driven model raises concerns that the emphasis on integrity and ethical considerations may be compromised in favor of financial gains. 🚩 Board Appointments: The addition of Paul M. Nakasone, former National Security Agency Chief, to OpenAI's board has heightened our suspicions about potential government and secret service involvement in the company's operations. ❗️Given these concerns, we have decided to discontinue the use of ChatGPT within our products. Specifically, this affects IRIS, our versatile search tool for businesses. IRIS, powered by our proprietary Natural Language Processing and content rating algorithms, will no longer integrate OpenAI technology. 💡 Instead, IRIS will now fully rely on our proprietary search methods, resulting in a 15% increase in speed and a 20% improvement in success hit ratio. We want to assure our clients that this transition will be seamless and will result in enhanced performance. Our commitment to providing innovative and reliable solutions remains steadfast, and we are confident that this change will further improve the quality and efficiency of our services. 💡 We also strongly believe that If a company wants to be serious about #AI, should create its own #Models and #Datasets. Thank you for your continued trust and support.
