AIF

 AIF = AI factories. 

This is a new concept that the mainstream media has not even begun to address.

Start here

This will be the page that defines and tracks AI factories. 

I have spent the past three hours discussing this new concept with ChatGPT. It's mind-boggling. 

An "AI factory":

AI prompt: what is meant by "beyond the original Turing test"? 

Another AI prompt: is FluidStack more akin to CoreWeave (building large data centers from concept to finish) or is FluidStack something completely different -- an AI factory?

AI reply:

Meta, Mistral, Poolside: these are all "AI factories." How does Poolside compare to Mistral & Meta? 

  • Meta: Big tech company with many AI lines (LLaMA models, research divisions). Broad scope across many modalities. 
  • Mistral AI: A European foundation-model startup aiming to build competing general-purpose LLMs.  
  • Poolside: Startup; founded in Paris, 2023. More specialized currently—focus on software development tools (coding assistants) and then enterprise agent + foundation model capabilities. One could call it more verticalized than a general LLM company.  
    • In its financing and ambitions, Poolside is already valued highly (≈ US$2–3 billion in early rounds) even before full product launches.
