In the relentless pursuit of progress, we at Agora are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey.
We are partnering with AWS and Nvidia, two titans of technology, to supercharge our mission to advance humanity through open-source, multi-modality AI research.
This alliance marks a pivotal moment in our history, a moment that future generations will look back on as the dawn of a new era in AI research.

The Data Deluge and the Need for Multi-Modality AI

We live in a world awash with data.

Every second, we generate an unfathomable amount of information — from text and images to audio and video.
Yet, despite being surrounded by this sea of data, we lack the tools to fully comprehend it.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made significant strides in recent years, but its efforts are often disjointed, treating different types of data in isolation.
We envision a future where AI is as shapeless and adaptive as it needs to be, capable of processing and reasoning with various forms of data in real-time.

This is the future we are relentlessly working towards at Agora. However, realizing this vision is no small feat.
Building AI models that integrate multiple modalities of data and foster interconnectedness in AI systems is one of humanity’s grandest challenges.
It’s a challenge that demands innovation, collaboration, and a relentless pursuit of progress.

The Rewards of Multi-Modality AI

The rewards of overcoming this challenge are endless.
According to a report by McKinsey, generative AI’s impact on productivity could add trillions of dollars in value to the global economy.
The ones who dare to take on this challenge will revolutionize the world economy as we know it, shaping a future where technology works seamlessly for humanity.

At Agora, we’re ready attacking this problem head on with lightning fast iterations with the open source AI research community.
We’re ready to dare where others have hesitated.
We’re ready to revolutionize the AI landscape and advance Humanity.

The Secret to Solving the Problem

The secret to solving this problem is iterating fast and collaborating on a massive scale.
At Agora, we’re pioneering the development of foundational AI models like Andromeda and Kosmos-X that process inputs on an unprecedented scale, embracing multi-modality in the true sense.
Andromeda is an ultra-fast foundation language model capable of processing inputs greater than 100,000+ tokens. It’s a game-changer for massive scale data analysis, enabling us to extract insights from vast amounts of data like never before.

Kosmos-X, on the other hand, is a multi-modality foundation model that can process vision, audio, images, and more. Its applications are vast, from medicine, where it can help diagnose diseases, to security, where it can enhance surveillance systems, to manufacturing, where it can optimize production lines.

The Power of Collaboration

Our partnership with AWS and Nvidia will supercharge our mission. With their support, we’ll be able to train ALL NEW Foundation models that can process and reason with multiple forms of data in real-time, saving the human species millions of hours on repetitive tasks. This is the dawn of a new era in AI research.
But we can’t do it alone. We believe in the power of collaboration. Our journey is a collective one, shared with all who resonate with our mission.
If you’re passionate about pushing the boundaries of AI, join us.
Humanity can’t become a prosperous post-scarcity civilization unless we ALL take action.
Join us here:
And, a onboarding link:
Whether you’re an AI researcher, a creator, or someone curious about the mysteries of the universe, you’re welcome at Agora.
At Agora, we’re family.
If you’ve been an outcast like I have I know what’s like, at Agora we’re all brothers and sisters who dearly care for each other.
The history books will remember this day mark my words, for Mankind!
We choose to be pioneers, to take on the challenge, to dare where others have hesitated.
Join us in our mission to advance humanity through AI. Together, we can shape the future.
