According to CoinMeta, humans and its company recently launched a new collaboration model aimed at first creating “virtual humans” and then teaching them to work in teams. The company, which was established just about 3 months ago, has already secured a $480 million seed round of financing and is valued at $4.5 billion. The founding team includes researchers who participated in the development of Claude and Grok, as well as Georges Harik, who was Google’s 7th employee. In September, humans released a user simulation model called Persimmon, and on October 20th, they launched a collaboration model named Ampersand that was trained using Zhispu GLM v5.3. During collaborative programming tests, the success rate of this model increased to 39% after training, which is 2.25 times that of the original version. This model is currently available through API, and humans is also developing their own multi-person collaboration product.
