These companies develop new Machine Learning technologies, platforms, significant ML models and applications.
1
OpenAI
Country: USA | Funding: $189B
OpenAI develops generative AI models: GPT for language, DALLE for images and Codex for code. The company's main product is the chatbot ChatGPT, which is used as a personal smart assistant and in enterprise customer support and knowledge management systems via APIs. The company also conducts scientific research aimed at achieving artificial general intelligence. The company's initial goal was the security and openness of artificial intelligence, but it has gradually moved toward closing and commercializing its ML and NLP technologies. According to CEO Sam Altman, AGI is achieving a certain amount of revenue. The primary OpenAI's investor is Microsoft and it has strategic partnership with NVidia. OpenAI is also a primary AI provider for the US Department of War

Physical Intelligence
Country: USA | Funding: $1.1B
Physical Intelligence develops general-purpose ML models for robots and other physical devices. The company collects data from robots in its lab and from real-world robots in other locations - warehouses, shops, homes - and uses this data to train universal base robot models. The goal is to create a pre-trained model (similar to GPT). The idea is that if someone creates a new hardware platform, they won't have to start collecting data from scratch—they can transfer all the knowledge the model already has. The company already works with a small number of companies in various industries - logistics, grocery stores and chocolate makers. When researchers train a new model, it comes back to stations like these for evaluation.

Fundamental
Country: USA | Funding: $255M
Fundamental develops AI models to extract useful insights from the massive volumes of structured data generated by large enterprises. It combines legacy predictive AI systems with more modern tools. Unlike traditional LLMs, Fundamental's large table model, called Nexus, is deterministic - meaning it produces the same answer every time it's asked a given question, and does not use the Transformer architecture. Because Transformer-based AI models can only process data within their context window, they often struggle to analyze extremely large datasets, for example, a spreadsheet with billions of rows. However, such huge structured datasets are common in large enterprises, creating significant opportunities for models capable of handling such scale.

LMArena
Country: USA | Funding: $250M
LMArena, a startup originally launched as a research project at the Berkeley University, tests and ranks the performance of AI models. The company evaluates various models across a range of tasks, including text processing, code generation, computer vision, text-to-image conversion and other tasks. Models tested include various versions of OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude and Grok, as well as models focused on specialized areas such as image generation, text-to-image conversion and logical reasoning. The company has also created a commercial service, AI Evaluations, through which businesses can hire the company to conduct model evaluations.
5
DeepMind
Country: UK
DeepMind was acquired by Google as a leading ML startup and now acts as its mostly independent AI division. Its initial goal was to create strong artificial intelligence, which the developers hoped to achieve through the ability to play games (Atari, Go, chess, Dota) and control physical robots. DeepMind gradually took over all of Google's AI projects, including the LLM model and the Gemini chatbot. DeepMind was one of the first to develop multimodal intelligence, including language, code, images, video and 3D world generation. Furthermore, the startup continues projects of creating specialized machine learning systems for various industries, including medicine (drug development) and energy (energy optimization for Google's data centers).
6
