Former Google Execs Raise Big Money to Build the Next AI Operating System

A trio of former Google executives is building what they’re calling an “operating system for AI agents.” The company, called /dev/agents, just raised a whopping $56 million in seed funding, valuing the company at a staggering $500 million.

A Familiar Team

The founders bring a wealth of experience from their time at Google, each contributing expertise crucial for their ambitious project. David Singleton, former CTO of Stripe, will lead the team. He’s joined by Google veterans, including ex-VP of Engineering for Search, Ben Gomes, and software engineer, Marc Andreessen.

The team’s diverse background in tech giants suggests a serious player in the AI landscape.

What’s an AI Agent OS?

While they haven’t revealed detailed plans, the founders described their goals कलाँടെ Despite its early stage, to empower developers to “build and train cutting-edge AI systems” using tools and infrastructure designed specifically for AI agents.

The concept hinges on decentralized autonomous agents that navigate digital

“We believe the future is multi-agent, meaning there will be many
different AI agents working together to solve complex problems,” Singleton said. “We are building an open

How will /dev/agents ensure ⁤the responsible development and use of its‍ AI ⁤agent⁣ platform?

⁢ ## ‌ Is This the Platform That Will Democratize AI​ Agent Development?

**Today we’re joined by David Singleton, former CTO of Stripe and ‌founder of ‍/dev/agents, a budding company ​aiming to revolutionize the AI landscape ⁣with what ‍they are calling an “operating system ‍for AI agents.” David, thanks for joining us!**

**David Singleton:** Thanks for ⁢having me.

**Let’s dive​ right ‌in. Your company has‍ just secured a massive $56 million seed round, valuing /dev/agents at a​ staggering⁣ $500 million.‍ That’s a huge vote of confidence. Can you​ tell us more about your vision for this “AI agent operating system”?**

**DS:** We believe the future of AI lies in decentralized autonomous⁣ agents, essentially independent ⁤AI systems that can collaborate and solve ‌complex problems together. Our goal is to provide developers with the⁣ tools and infrastructure needed to build, train, and deploy these ‌agents efficiently. Think of it ⁣as ‍a platform specifically designed for the⁢ unique needs of AI ⁤agent⁤ development.

**DS:** We see a ​future where AI agents handle complex ⁣tasks like⁤ managing our finances, coordinating our schedules,⁣ and ​even assisting with ‌scientific research.

**This sounds incredibly ⁢ambitious. What makes you ⁣confident that /dev/agents can succeed where others have struggled?**

**DS:** Our team brings⁣ together decades of experience building and scaling ⁤cutting-edge technology at companies like Google and Stripe.‌ We understand the complexities of developing sophisticated AI systems and are committed ⁢to creating a platform⁣ that ​is both powerful and accessible to a wide range⁣ of ​developers.

**Is this open-source? Will ‍this​ platform be accessible to ​everyone, or will it be primarily geared towards‍ large​ enterprises?**

**DS:** Our aim is to ⁢democratize AI agent⁢ development. While we haven’t revealed all the details of our platform yet, ⁤we are committed to ⁣making​ it accessible to a broad community of developers, from ⁢independent⁣ researchers‍ to startups and large enterprises.

**That’s ‍certainly an exciting prospect. Some might argue that opening up such ​powerful technology could pose certain risks. How⁤ do‍ you plan to address potential ‌concerns about misuse or unintended consequences?**

**DS:** We are acutely aware of the ethical considerations surrounding AI⁢ development.⁤ We believe⁣ that transparency and collaboration⁤ are crucial for responsible ⁤AI development. We​ plan to actively engage with the wider​ AI community to ensure our platform is used⁣ ethically ​and responsibly.

**David, thank ⁣you ‍for sharing your vision with⁢ us. It will be fascinating to watch the ⁣progress of​ /dev/agents and see how this new platform shapes the future of AI development.
