Neurophos makes the OPU, a photonic AI chip that delivers the performance of a 3,000-pound server in the size and power envelope of a single GPU. Neurophos’ novel optical “transistor” unlocks terawatt-scale compute at a gigawatt-scale footprint, fitting millions of weights in the area of a postage stamp, that would otherwise occupy a full square-meter.

Guide labs is a product-focused AI research company where we are building a new class of interpretable AI systems that humans and domain experts can understand and reliably debug. We make these models available via our API.
The prevailing paradigm in machine learning and AI is to train models as monoliths optimized solely for performance. However, this results in models that are difficult to work with, and leaves critical model properties at the mercy of the optimization process. At Guide Labs we are taking a different path. We believe you cannot reliably debug, steer, and align a model you don’t understand. We are rethinking the model architecture, loss function, and entire pipeline to constrain the model training process such that the models we get are more easily understandable, their errors easier to identify and fix, and easy to align.

Remarkable founders have a vision that will shift the future, and at Tectonic Ventures, we find and partner with those independent thinkers who have what it takes to realize their vision. From the first spark of a new idea through successful exit, we invest time and energy as trusted advisers towards meeting our shared goals. Beyond the capital, experience, and expansive network, we bring the mindset of an entrepreneur, having experienced the fear, the adrenalin, the hard work, the rough times, and the ultimate triumph ourselves. Together, we can uncover earth-shattering opportunities among the shifts and innovations happening in the business landscape. Together, we can reshape the horizon.
