CoinFeed reported on March 27th, citing the Wall Street Journal, that OpenAI has invested in Isara, an artificial intelligence startup founded by two 23-year-old researchers. Isara aims to develop software that can coordinate thousands of AI agents to work collaboratively to solve complex problems in fields such as finance and biotechnology. Isara recently completed a $94 million funding round at a $650 million valuation, with investors including Michael Ovitz and Stanley Druckenmiller, and OpenAI participating. Isara's founders co-authored an academic paper last June proposing a vision for improving policymaking through collaborative AI systems. The company has currently recruited approximately 12 researchers from companies such as Google, Meta, and OpenAI.
