"Stateless systems treat every decision in isolation and cannot remember previous incidents or how work actually flows through a site. Stateful’s platform builds a persistent, shared model of tasks, environments and past behaviour that lets robots adapt to disruption and complete missions safely without constant supervision."

"Big labs are currently betting that one model will rule them all. We think that’s wrong and our work proves this. Nature shows that real intelligence emerges from many systems working together. We’ve brought together incredible talent to enable a paradigm shift in how we build intelligent systems to solve real-world problems, with the infrastructure to make that possible, on any chip, anywhere in the world."

"Northern Gritstone is delighted to support Exciting Instruments’ internationally renowned team from the University of Sheffield. Their technology will open up a broad range of health-related research and discovery and will also support job creation in Sheffield’s thriving tech cluster."

"In today’s AI race, the limitations of existing hardware – nearly all of which is provided by a single company – represent the biggest barrier to better performance, reduced cost, and wider adoption. Fractile’s approach supercharges inference, delivering astonishing improvements in terms of speed and cost. This is more than just a speed-up – changing the performance point for inference allows us to explore completely new ways to use today’s leading AI models to solve the world’s most complex problems. We’re thrilled to have raised our funding from investors with a wealth of experience in the AI and chip industries, continue to grow our world-class team and further our technological development and partnerships."
