H AI

H, formerly known as Holistic AI, is an AI startup based in Paris that is working on developing advanced AI models called "frontier action models" aimed at improving worker productivity. The company was founded in 2024 by a team of AI researchers and scientists, including Charles Kantor, the CEO who previously worked at Stanford University, and four co-founders who all previously held key positions at Google’s DeepMind.

H's core focus is on developing AI agents, which are automated systems capable of performing tasks traditionally carried out by human workers. The company's approach involves leveraging techniques in areas such as game theory, multi-agent systems, and reinforcement learning to create AI models that can potentially achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI), a concept where AI systems would be capable of handling a wide range of tasks at a level comparable to human intelligence.

Funding and financials

In May 2024, H raised USD 220 million in a seed funding round to acquire datasets and compute power to advance AGI.
