According to media reports, Safe Superintelligence (SSI), an artificial intelligence startup led by OpenAI co-founder and former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, has completed $2 billion in financing and is valued at $32 billion. This round of financing was led by Greenoaks.

Safe Superintelligence has previously raised $1 billion, and there are reports that a new round of $1 billion in financing is in preparation.

In November 2023, OpenAI had a management "earthquake". The OpenAI board of directors announced that Sam Altman resigned as CEO and left the company, and Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati served as interim CEO. Just one week later, the storm ended with Sam Altman returning to the company as CEO and winning.

The driving force behind this storm is believed to be Ilya Sutskever. Tesla CEO Musk once said, "Ilya has a good moral code in his heart and does not only value power. He will not take such drastic actions unless he feels it is absolutely necessary."

After Ilya Sutskever left, OpenAI disbanded his "super coordination" team, which was committed to ensuring that artificial intelligence is consistent with human values ​​and preparing for the day when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence.

On June 20, 2024, Safe Superintelligence, founded by Ilya Sutskever, was publicly unveiled. The company has not yet generated any revenue, and people know little about the work of Safe Superintelligence. Only Ilya Sutskever's introduction: "We will pursue safe superintelligence in one go, with only one focus, one goal and one product. We will achieve this goal through a small and capable team that makes revolutionary breakthroughs."

However, Safe Superintelligence is still hotly sought after.

In September 2024, Ilya Sutskever announced that Safe Superintelligence raised $1 billion, with investors including NFDG, a16z, Sequoia, DST Global and SV Angel.

Former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati also started a secret business after leaving OpenAI in September 2024.
