Exa Raises $22MM to Build the Search Engine for AI

Funding led by Lightspeed Venture Partners will allow Exa to scale their first search product and become the data layer for AI applications.

Exa, an AI research lab redesigning search for the AI age, announced $22M in seed and Series A funding led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from NVentures, NVIDIA’s venture capital arm, and Y Combinator. This investment will accelerate Exa’s mission to build the search engine for AI.

“Soon, AI will search the web more than humans,” said Exa CEO, Will Bryk. “But search engines like Google were designed for humans, not AI. Whereas Google is optimized for human clicks, AI needs a search engine that’s powerful and precise enough to retrieve thousands of results with the best information. That’s where Exa comes in – we’re the first search engine built for AI.”

Exa trains embedding models, using the same technology behind ChatGPT, to convert web pages into lists of numbers known as embeddings. The result is a technology that packs the power of large language models (LLMs) into the search process itself, making search smarter than keyword approaches like Google. Smarter search grounds AI applications in the most relevant world knowledge.

For example, on Google, a search for “companies in SF building futuristic hardware” returns articles created by search engine optimization (SEO) experts to attract human clicks. On Exa, the same search returns a list of companies that match that description – what was actually asked for.

“Exa represents the intersection of an incredible team, and a big vision for how AI applications will retrieve fresh knowledge. It’s impressive to see what Exa was able to build with such a small team and minimal resources,” said Guru Chahal, Partner at Lightspeed. “The three critical components of AI systems are compute, models, and data. Nvidia supplies the compute substrate. Anthropic, OpenAI and other foundation model companies train the models, and Exa can provide the critical data and knowledge layers. We’re thrilled to support them as they redefine how AI utilizes knowledge and ultimately search as a whole.”

So far, thousands of companies and developers have integrated Exa, from AI writing assistants helping students cite relevant papers, to VC firms sourcing highly specific startups, to AI research teams at companies like Databricks assembling large, high quality training datasets.

“My cofounder Jeff and I actually built a search engine together when we were roommates at Harvard,” said Will. “At the time, we thought crowdsourcing links would enable better search than Google. But now five years later, AI enables something much bigger. AI has the capacity to truly organize the web’s knowledge, and when we do that there will be many magical use cases beyond just a search API.”

With the advent of personal computers and smartphones, the World Wide Web is now literally at our fingertips.

In the last ten years, we’ve seen the proliferation of “smart” technology, from LEDs to smart cars to CCTVs to smart bulbs. Along with this, people have grown accustomed to using automated vehicles and urban areas.

What Is IoT?

The term “Internet of Things” (IoT) refers to a network of “things” that are equipped with electronics, software, and network connectivity so that they may share data with other devices and systems online. These gadgets vary from the commonplace to the highly specialized. IoT has rapidly risen in prominence over the past several years to become one of the most consequential innovations of our time. Now that everything from kitchen appliances to vehicles to thermostats to baby monitors can be connected to the internet via embedded devices, there is no longer any barrier to the flow of information among humans, computers, and the physical world.

By 2024, there will be more than 43 billion devices online, all contributing to the creation, distribution, and utilization of information.

So, here’s a rundown of a few of the most important trends that could influence our approach to these gadgets in the future year.

Reinventors Plans to Embrace AI Powered IOT

10 Steps Towards AIoT

  1. AI and IoT technology enable accurate communication through embedded sensors, allowing robots to quickly adapt to new settings. This streamlines manufacturing and saves money.
  2. Wearables, such as fitness trackers, smartwatches, panic buttons, remote monitoring systems, GPS trackers, and music systems, are now prevalent in the AI landscape. These devices are vital to the IoT ecosystem and provide reliable data via smart device IoT apps.
  3. A smart city includes smart traffic management, parking, trash management, policing, government, and other issues. The Internet of Things for smart cities transforms how cities run and provide public services like transportation, healthcare, and lighting. Smart cities may be futuristic and have much to cover.
  4. IoT AI analyzes constant data streams and finds patterns. Machine learning and AI can also predict operation circumstances and identify parameters that need to be changed for optimal results. Thus, intelligent IoT reveals which procedures are redundant and time-consuming and which can be optimized. Google uses AI and IoT to lower data center cooling costs.
  5. IoT and AI enable businesses to quickly process and analyze data to generate new products. Rolls Royce aims to use AI for IoT-enabled aviation engine repair. This method will help identify trends and operational insights.
  6. IoT devices include smartphones, high-end computers, and sensors. Low-end sensors in the most typical IoT ecosystem generate massive amounts of data. AI-powered IoT ecosystems review and summarize device data before sharing it. It simplifies massive data sets and connects many IoT devices. This is scalability.
  7. Self-driving cars are the greatest AI+IoT system in real life. These autos can predict pedestrian movements and recommend cognitive sensing machine actions. It helps determine the best driving speed, time, and route.
  8. AIoT is used in car maintenance and recalls. AIoT can detect part failure and perform service checks by combining data from recalls, warranties, and safety agencies. The manufacturer increases customer trust and loyalty as vehicles become more reliable.
  9. Quality healthcare aims to reach all communities. No matter the size or sophistication of healthcare systems, doctors are under more time and task strain and seeing fewer patients. Providing high-quality healthcare while managing administrative burdens is difficult.
  10. Retail analytics uses camera and sensor data to track and forecast customer behavior in a physical store, such as checkout times. This helps determine staffing levels and boost cashier productivity, enhancing customer happiness.

What is The News About?

Envision this: you’ve set aside some time to relax and have decided to whip up a handmade pizza. You can hardly wait to dig into your pie once you put it in the oven after assembling it. Unfortunately, the cheese slips off as soon as you’re about to bite into your greasy masterpiece. Feeling frustrated, you decide to search Google for an answer.

“Use some glue,” is the response that Google returns. Combine the sauce with approximately 1/8 cup of Elmer’s glue. Any glue that isn’t harmful will do.

Read: 10 AI ML In Data Storage Trends To Look Out For In 2024

Yeah, that’s not a good idea. But at the time of this writing, that is the recommendation from Google’s new AI Overviews tool. Although not all queries trigger it, it does search the web and return an AI-generated response. Someone named “fucksmith” commented on a Reddit topic that’s almost a decade old—and they’re joking—because that’s where the pizza glue query got its response.

Why Is It Important?

The new feature that Google released to the public earlier this month had numerous errors, like this one. It goes on to say that a dog has played in the NBA, NFL, and NHL, that Batman is a police officer, and that previous US President James Madison graduated from the University of Wisconsin not once, but twenty-one times.

The errors were caused by “generally very uncommon queries, and aren’t representative of most people’s experiences,” according to Google spokesperson Meghann Farnsworth. Using these “isolated examples” to further improve the product, she claimed, the corporation has taken action against policy violators.

Businesses in the AI industry are like parents dealing with a misbehaving child: they quickly distance themselves from responsibility for their systems. They say they have no say because they can’t foresee what the AI will come up with.

However, that poses an issue for the users. Earlier this year, Google declared AI to be search’s guiding light. What good is it if the search turns out to be even less intelligent than before? In the quest to integrate AI into everything, our search results are currently tainted by Reddit posts from a decade ago. According to many idealists, these problems are just the beginning, who think we are about to experience something amazing. I hope they’re accurate. The internet makes it inevitable that we will soon see someone slathering pizza with adhesive.

Together, the Google for Startups Cloud Program and the NVIDIA Inception program will increase startups’ access to cloud credits, go-to-market support, and technical expertise, allowing them to speed up the delivery of value to customers. This announcement was made today at Google Cloud Next ’24 in Las Vegas. Google Cloud credits—up to $350,000 for AI-focused firms—will be available to qualified members of NVIDIA Inception, a worldwide program that supports over 18,000 startups. This will allow them to leverage Google Cloud infrastructure more quickly.

Why Does This News Matter?

Joining NVIDIA Inception is a great way for members of the Google for Startups Cloud Program to get access to a wealth of resources, including technical knowledge, training credits from the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute, and NVIDIA products and tools. Participation in NVIDIA Inception Capital Connect, a network that introduces entrepreneurs to venture capital firms interested in the field, is also available to eligible participants of the Google for Entrepreneurs Cloud Program. Co-marketing, product acceleration, and expedited onboarding to Google Cloud Marketplace are additional benefits for high-growth emerging software producers in both programs.

The two companies have previously announced several initiatives meant to lower the barrier to entry for businesses of all kinds when it comes to creating generative AI applications, and this partnership is the most recent in that vein. The hefty price tags of artificial intelligence initiatives are a major hurdle for new businesses. Google DeepMind introduced a suite of cutting-edge open models called Gemma in February. Optimizements across all NVIDIA AI platforms for Gemma were recently announced by NVIDIA and Google, assisting in lowering client expenses and accelerating innovative work for domain-specific use cases.

Companies’ teams collaborated closely to improve the speed of Gemma, which is based on the same research and technology as Google DeepMind’s most powerful model to date, Gemini when executed on NVIDIA GPUs using NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM, an open-source library for optimizing large language model inference. A simplified way to build AI-powered applications and release optimized AI models into production is provided by the combination of NVIDIA NIM microservices, which are part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform, and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Utilizing inference engines such as TensorRT-LLM and NVIDIA Triton Inference Server, NIM expedites the implementation of generative AI in organizations by providing AI inferencing that is both smooth and scalable, and it supports a diverse set of top-tier models.

Another convenient approach for users to get NVIDIA NeMo and other AI development frameworks is through Google Cloud Marketplace. Nemo is part of NVIDIA AI Enterprise. Along with the announcement that A3 Mega will be available to the general public next month, Google Cloud is further expanding access to generative AI computing that is accelerated by NVIDIA. These instances are a new addition to its A3 family of virtual machines, which are driven by NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core graphics processing units. A3 VMs’ GPU-to-GPU network capacity will be doubled by the new instances.

Support for confidential computing is now available in Google Cloud’s new Confidential VMs on A3. This will allow customers to secure their sensitive data, apps, and AI workloads while they train and infer, all without having to modify any code to take advantage of H100 GPU acceleration. Inside Preview this year, you’ll find these Confidential VMs powered by GPUs.

The Delicate Balance Between Innovation and Responsibility

Google committed yet another embarrassing AI faux pas: an algorithm for creating photographs that ludicrously increased their diversity without considering their historical context. Since then, Google has apologized—or nearly did. Despite how obvious the core issue is, Google c***** the model is “becoming” too sensitive. No, the model didn’t magically materialize. Gemini, the company’s conversational AI platform, will ask for a version of the Imagen 2 model whenever you ask it to take photos.

Until recently, though, people didn’t realize that it produced ridiculous results when asked to visualize particular persons or events from history. Even though it is now known that many of the Founding Fathers owned slaves, they were depicted as a diverse group that included people of color. This embarrassing and easily replicated problem was quickly parodied by online critics. Commentators used it as evidence that the already liberal IT industry was being infected even more by the woke mind virus, and it was also dragged into the continuing issue about diversity, equity, and inclusion, which is currently having a negative impact on its reputation locally. But this problem was generated by a completely reasonable solution for systematic bias in training data, as Google points out in its pretty sad little apology-adjacent essay today, and as anyone knowledgeable with the technology might tell you.

Read OpenAI Open-Source ASR Model Launched- Whisper 3

The Generative Model

For example, suppose you’re planning to use Gemini to create ten photos depicting “a person walking a dog in a park” for a promotional campaign. The dealer gets to choose the type of person, dog, or park to use; the generative model only gives the dealer what it knows is best. In addition, that is usually due to biases in the training data rather than actual findings. Which kinds of people, dogs, and parks stand out most in the thousands of relevant photos that the model has seen? When you don’t tell the model to display a specific race, it will likely default to white people because of the disproportionate representation of white people in many picture collections (stock photos, rights-free photography, etc.).

Read Top 20 Uses of Artificial Intelligence In Cloud Computing For 2024

Although Google acknowledges that “because our users come from all over the world, we want it to work well for everyone,” the issue is actually related to the training data. When requesting a photo of a football player or someone walking a dog, it can be wise to provide a diverse range of subjects. Images of people that are uniformly one race (or gender) are probably not something you’re looking for. Photographing a white guy in a suburban park with a golden retriever is quite OK. But what if, when you summon them, every one of the ten is a white man strolling a golden retriever in a suburban park? Do you really call Morocco home? It seems like every corner has a distinct character, from the people to the pets to the parks. Obviously, you would prefer that not to occur. When a feature is not specified, the model should prioritize diversity over homogeneity, even though its training data may be biased. This is a problem that every form of generative media has. Furthermore, a simple solution does not exist. In common, delicate, or both scenarios, however, companies like Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. discreetly add more model instructions.

LLM ecosystem

This kind of implicit instruction is quite common, and I can’t stress it enough. The whole LLM ecosystem is built upon implicit instructions, or system prompts as they are commonly known. Guidelines such as “don’t swear,” “be concise,” and others are provided to the model before each talk. The model has been taught to avoid uttering racist jokes, much like the rest of us, so even though it has eaten millions of jokes, it will not deliver one if you ask it for one. Despite the need for greater openness, this is infrastructure and not a clandestine mission. Problematically, Google’s model did not provide any implicit direction for cases where the past played a pivotal role. So, while “the person is of a random gender and ethnicity” or whatever else they insert helps prompts like “a person walking a dog in a park,” substituting it with “the U.S. Founding Fathers signing the Constitution” obviously does not.

Google has come up with an interesting blog on digital security. The world is fixating on AI’s potential, and both governments and businesses are trying to figure out how to regulate it so that it’s safe and secure. Many see AI as a turning moment in the fight for digital security. Their plight is shared. At this weekend’s Munich Security Conference, attendees will hear about artificial intelligence’s potential to improve security, an issue that more than 40% of people rank as AI’s top application.

At this critical juncture, AI stands before lawmakers, security experts, and members of civil society with an opportunity to shift the cybersecurity power dynamic away from cybercriminals and toward cyberdefenders. At a time when bad actors are playing around with AI, decisive and prompt action is needed to influence the future of this technology. The fact that cybercriminals just require a single effective, new threat to circumvent the most robust defenses has been a major problem in the field for many years and continues to be so today. Meanwhile, there is little tolerance for error as defenders must constantly deploy top-tier defenses across ever-evolving digital landscapes. We call this situation the “Defender’s Dilemma,” because up until now, no one has found a foolproof solution.

We are certain that AI has the potential to change this dynamic because of their expertise with large-scale AI deployments. With the use of AI, defenders and security experts may speed up their processes for identifying threats, analyzing malware, finding vulnerabilities, correcting vulnerabilities, and responding to incidents. If they want to make a difference online, they should open up new AI developments to government agencies and companies of all sizes and in all sectors. Our Vertex AI platform and other extensive generative AI capabilities will be supported by more than five billion euros invested in data centers across Europe between 2019 and the end of 2024. This investment will help ensure the continued availability of a wide variety of digital services.

Today’s AI governance choices have the potential to change the cyber landscape in ways no one has anticipated. To prevent a future where thugs can develop while protectors can’t, their communities need a moderate approach to AI regulation. In order for enterprises to harness the full potential of AI while preventing its misuse by competitors, they require strategic investments, collaborations between businesses and governments, and efficient regulatory strategies. To back this up, they’re announcing $2 million in research grants and strategic partnerships to bolster AI-based cybersecurity research initiatives. These will help with things like developing larger language models with better resilience to threats, better understanding of how AI can aid with cyber offense and defense countermeasures, and improving code verification.

Researchers at Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, and the University of Chicago are receiving the funds. Gmail, Drive, and secure Browsing are just a few of the products that use Magika to help keep users secure online. The VirusTotal team also uses it to make the internet a better place. With a 30% improvement in overall accuracy and a 95% improvement in precision on notoriously difficult-to-identify but potentially harmful information like VBA, JavaScript, and Powershell, Magika surpasses previous file recognition methods.
