Datalogy AI, a developer of an automated data curation platform for GenAI, has raised USD 11.7 million in a seed funding round led by Amplify Partners, with participation from Radical Ventures, Conviction Capital, Outset Capital, and Quiet Capital. The round also featured prominent angel investors, including Google's chief scientist, Jeff Dean, Meta's chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, and Quora Inc. founder and OpenAI board member Adam D'Angelo.

The funding was used to launch its data curation solution, which can automate the curation of datasets for training large language models (LLMs). The firm claims its service helps to speed up training, increase efficiency, enhance model performance on less common queries, and result in smaller, more cost-effective models.

Co-founded in 2023 by Ari Marcos, an ex-Google DeepMind and Meta AI employee, DatalogyAI provides a data-curation-as-a-service solution where it automatically optimizes every step of the data curation process from retrieving data in blob storage to the dataloader used for training code in LLMs. The solution can be deployed on a user's infrastructure, either on-premise or on virtual private networks (VPC). The solution is being tested with select customers, and plans are to make it available generally later in the year.
