Hi HN,<p>A few months ago, we announced our AI Grant project. We give $2,500 in cash and $20,000 in GPU training credits to anyone who wants to work on AI research.<p>Today, we're excited to announce our second batch of Fellows! We were flooded with nearly 1,000 applications. Topics were diverse: robotics, NLP, biology, tooling, physics, dataset acquisition, fundamental research and more. The applicants were also diverse, spanning from world-class Google researchers to high school students. Check out <a href="https://blog.aigrant.org/new-ai-grant-fellows-43f1c26c13d9" rel="nofollow">https://blog.aigrant.org/new-ai-grant-fellows-43f1c26c13d9</a> for an overview of the 20 new Fellows.<p>Einstein was a patent clerk. In Bern. The weirdest and best research ideas often come from outsiders. Our goal is to find and fund their work. What should we add to our program to improve it?<p>Thanks!<p>- Daniel Gross & Nat Friedman.<p>P.S. I'm a partner at YC. This is Nat's and my side project, not a YC effort.
