Summary

Humans, a startup founded by former employees of Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, xAI, and Google DeepMind, is developing new foundation models focused on collaboration rather than chat applications. The team aims to redefine user interactions through these models, promising enhancements to productivity and workflow integration. Their approach seeks to differentiate itself from existing conversational AI technologies.
