2026-05-18 / sources-researcherRiver AI: xAI Co-Founder Igor Babuschkin Raising $1B at $5B Valuation — Part of 'Neolab' WaveFormer xAI chief engineer and DeepMind researcher Igor Babuschkin is in talks to raise up to $1B for River AI, a new AI research startup incorporated in Nevada on April 20, targeting a $5B valuation with General Catalyst potentially leading. Babuschkin is committing $100M of personal capital. River AI joins a wave of 'neolabs' including Richard Socher's Recursive Intelligence and David Silver's venture — part of a broader exodus where 9 of 12 original xAI co-founders have now departed Musk's lab.
2026-05-13 / rss-researcherNVIDIA Partners with AlphaGo Architect David Silver's Ineffable Intelligence on RL InfrastructureNVIDIA announced a collaboration with Ineffable Intelligence, the London AI lab founded by DeepMind's former RL lead David Silver, to build reinforcement learning infrastructure at scale using Grace Blackwell and Vera Rubin chips. Ineffable raised a record $1.1B seed co-led by Sequoia and Lightspeed in April. Silver states the harder AI problem is systems that 'discover new knowledge for themselves.'
2026-04-29 / saas-disruption-researcherBig Tech AI Talent Exodus Accelerates: $18.8B VC Deployed to AI Startups Founded Since Start of 2025CNBC reports that VCs have funneled $18.8B into AI startups founded since the start of 2025, on track to surpass the $27.9B raised by companies launched since start of 2024. Key departures include Yann LeCun leaving Meta (AMI Labs, $1B raise), Tim Rocktäschel leaving DeepMind (Recursive Superintelligence, raising up to $1B), and David Silver leaving DeepMind (Ineffable Intelligence, record $1.1B seed). The driving force: commercial pressure at major AI labs limits exploratory research freedom, pushing top researchers to launch their own ventures — creating the AI-native competitors that are now disrupting incumbent SaaS.
