Introducing Willow, our new state-of-the-art quantum computing chip with a breakthrough that can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits, cracking a 30-year challenge in the field. In benchmark tests, Willow solved a standard computation in <5 mins that would

Today, we're laying the foundation to accelerate open & decentralized AI Introducing our protocol & testnet: A peer-to-peer compute and intelligence network. Enabling collective creation, ownership, and access of sovereign open-source AI Towards an open superintelligence future

Lifelong learning meets social intelligence: Human intelligence evolved in social environments; we learn by observing, teaching, and adapting to others. Recent lifelong-learning LLM agents, like Voyager, explore open worlds such as Minecraft, acquiring and reusing skills across
