Our take
Founded by former Facebook research scientists, Contextual AI is building customisable, scalable and trustworthy Large Language Models for use by enterprises. Its main product is a tool to improve model performance so that users can build production-grade AI systems.
The backbone of this product is a technology that feeds curated information into AI models so that the LLM can have more context and up-to-date information. This helps to minimise AI “hallucinations”, an increasingly common problem for models like ChatGPT.
Contextual AI is currently working with companies in the finance, technology and media sectors. Since its impressive 2024 funding, it will no doubt seek growth, perhaps into other sectors. Either way, as AI models become more and more common in enterprise use, the future looks bright for Contextual AI.
