Boltzbit is a deeptech AI startup on a mission to make General Learning Intelligence and the power of AI accessible to all. Founded in 2020 by Dr. Yichuan Zhang, former Google AI researcher, and Dr. Jinli Hu, former Microsoft AI researcher, Boltzbit believes that efficient learning systems built on high-quality proprietary data are key to unlocking AI’s true potential, moving from proof-of-concept experiments to widely usable intelligence. Building on the founders’ research on Boltzmann machines, the Nobel Prize-winning AI architecture, Boltzbit has developed the first GenAI models capable of instant learning, surpassing the limitations of traditional pre-trained transformers. These instant-learning large language models are already in production, powering real-world applications for leading financial institutions, insurance companies and high-growth startups. Boltzbit is part of the emerging AGI 2.0 movement, representing an evolution from model-centric AI (AGI 1.0) to context-centric, continuously learning intelligence.

Deep Render is a deep tech startup developing the next generation of image and video compression technology using an AI-first approach. We are the first mover in the field, and our patented algorithms are at the forefront of the machine learning revolution. Our state-of-the-art results provide up to 80% improvement over previous standards. With the largest leap in compression performance in history, we enable content owners to increase available markets and reduce costs dramatically. Additionally, 80% smaller filesize is equivalent to 5Xing the bandwidth capacity of the world, generating trillions of dollars of value for society. Visit deeprender.ai for more information.

Deep Render was acquired by InterDigital in Oct/2025. Unfortunately, in the process, the Deep Render LinkedIn Page + all its content was lost. A shame; we had some great content and team pictures on here :-( This is a tribute LinkedIn page for the company. Deep Render was the worlds first creator of end-to-end AI video compression technology running in real time on smartphones.
