Inflection AI – competitor of OpenAI and Anthropic recently has announced the first release of its own chatbot, or “Personal AI” called Pi. 

According to Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of Inflection AI, also the co-founder of DeepMind (Now Google DeepMind), “Pi is a smart, supportive personal AI that is designed to be better at “natural flowing conversation”, than lists, plans, or code. Inflection AI was started by Linkedin co-founder Reid Hoffman alongside Suleyman in March last year. 

Pi stands for ‘personal intelligence’. “We think that in the future everyone will have their own personal AI”, tweeted Suleyman. This sounds like Samantha from the sci-fi movie ‘Her’, a personal bot. “Pi can be a coach, confidante, creative partner, sounding board and a personal assistant.” The founders boast it for its high EQ (emotional quotient).

“We’ve spent the past year developing one of the most sophisticated and advanced large language models in the world in order to achieve a new level of simplicity and natural interaction for people with Pi,” said Karén Simonyan, chief scientist and co-founder of Inflection AI.

In a bid to compete with the hype around OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, Hugging Face also unveiled their own chatbot called HuggingChat. 
Inflection AI had last year raised $225 million funding from equity financing. As per the same report, the funding source is unclear.
