RAAIS

<2 months until our 10th anniversary of @raais Covering frontier research in intelligence & robotics, multimodal & generative systems, reasoning-driven AI, and breakthrough models into enduring products. Ft speakers from @GoogleDeepMind, @odysseyml, @Starcloud_ + more to come!

Another @raais alum returns! Excited to host @vivnat - he leads medical and scientific AI at @GoogleDeepMind - from Med-PaLM to AMIE to the AI co-scientist His last talk was in 2023, the early days of LLMs in healthcare - come along for the latest!

so happy to have our friends @LambdaAPI - the superintelligence cloud - partner with us again on @raais their mission empowers ours!

@nathanbenaich @LambdaAPI 👏

Ten editions in, @raais brings together a global community of AI researchers, entrepreneurs, and operators shaping AI. Proud to welcome back @LambdaAPI as a sponsor of RAAIS 2026. Their support helps advance education and research in AI for the common good.

Thrilled to welcome @RaiaHadsell of @GoogleDeepMind to RAAIS 2026. Raia first spoke at RAAIS in 2017 and returns now as VP of Research, co-leading Frontier AI. Her work spans continual learning, robotics, navigation, and frontier systems. A huge addition to our 10th edition 🤖

We're excited to have @robertarail at @raais 2026! Roberta leads open-ended learning at @GoogleDeepMind - from MLGym and MaestroMotif to Toolformer and Llama 3's tool use, her work is shaping what it takes for ai agents to keep acquiring skills. Join us on 12 june in london!

one of the boldest ideas in ai infra right now: data centers in space excited to have @philipjohnston, ceo of @starcloud_, at our 10th annual research and applied ai summit in london on 12 June come join!

the time is here - we're launching our 10th @raais summit speakers! first up, @jeffrey_hawke, co-founder/cto at world simulator pioneers @odysseyml jeff's work intersects generative modelling, embodied intelligence, and large-scale learning he was prev vp tech @wayve_ai

Another major milestone in @wayve_ai's history. Proud to say we’ve secured $1.5 billion Series D investment at $8.6 billion valuation. We started a decade ago with a contrarian technical thesis: that self-driving is an AI problem, and Embodied AI will enable autonomy to scale without rules, HD-maps and using mass-produced hardware. Now we're entering commercialisation, we're taking a contrarian commercial strategy too, selecting the business model with the largest opportunity to scale. We're not selling our own cars, which limits scale to one brand. We're not operating our own fleets, which limits autonomy to city-by-city expansion. We're licensing autonomy to any vehicle, anywhere. This new business model is only possible now because we've built a general purpose AI driver, which is flexible to work with any vehicle architecture and proven to drive all around the world. This unlocks a high margin software licensing model, which we're now excited to be deploying with global partners with the strength of this new funding round. Thank you to our new and returning financial investors for backing our vision all the way: @EclipseVentures, @balderton, @SoftBank, @OTPPinfo, @BaillieGifford, @BritishBBank, @IcehouseVenture and @Schroders among other global institutional investors. We're deepening our partnerships with @Microsoft and @nvidia to build and deploy Embodied AI at global scale, and with @Uber, who are announcing supervised robotaxi trials in 10 cities around the world, starting with London this year. To top it off, three top-10 global automakers across Europe, Japan and USA are backing and believing in our technology for consumer vehicles and robotaxis: @MercedesBenz, @Nissan and @Stellantis. I’ve always believed that our end-to-end AI approach would lead the way in autonomy. This latest investment and the endorsement that comes with it make me believe that the industry is also now converging on that idea too. What's next? We have a busy next few years of commercial delivery: supervised robotaxi trials around the world in 2026 and consumer vehicle sales from 2027. Thank you to the incredible Wayve team for making this all possible. Check out all details here: wayve.ai/press/series-d/

i'm heading to munich for the @MunSecConf soon! join us at our @airstreet munich ai meetup on 17th feb, ft. - @odysseyml, general-purpose world models - @polarmistai, european maritime autonomy - an update on the @stateofai :) luma(dot)com/munichai

i'm headed to zurich to host our @airstreet zurich ai meetup on 19 feb, ft: - @robrombach of @bfl_ml, frontier visual intelligence - @tuschermarc of @sereactai, general purpose robotics - an update on the @stateofai :) luma(dot)com/zurichai

In March, we set a big goal: take the Wayve AI Driver to 500 cities. We reached 506 cities. 1.45 million km of testing. Operating zero-shot in 219 cities. One global model, driving in places it has never seen. Watch the final Tokyo → Mt Fuji run + read the full results: wayve.ai/thinking/ai-50…

Scaling autonomy isn’t just about more data 🚗🤖 At @raais 2025, @sashahar12 from @wayve_ai shared how strong driving performance in the UK translated to the US with limited local data - reaching comparable results after roughly 500 hours of operation.

@DynamicWebPaige hello fwiieendd

10 OUT OF 10, NO NOTES 🥹🤖

Big news out of Tokyo 🇯🇵✨ Congratulations to @wayve_ai and @alexgkendall on the announcement with @Nissan - bringing Wayve’s AI Driver to mass-produced vehicles powered by next-gen ProPILOT tech. A huge step for embodied AI and autonomous mobility

Delighted to welcome @RishiSunak back to Wayve — now over a year since he last visited as Prime Minister and when he brought the Automated Vehicles Act 2024 through Parliament. Since then progress has only accelerated and it is fantastic to see government's decision to fast-track self-driving trials from next year. We're excited to be launching our self-driving service in London with @Uber. No better way to catch up than taking a drive around London to see our latest! 🙌

Congrats to our friends at @bfl_ml and @andi_blatt on their Series B - a huge step for visual intelligence 🌲👏 At @raais 2025, Andreas broke down how understanding the diffusion trajectory unlocks richer, more semantic image generation. Onward to the frontier! 💪

Our incoming President, @maxjaderberg shares more about the progress we’ve made so far and his vision for the next chapter at @IsomorphicLabs. Read more from Max here: bit.ly/43S8TTa
