<ul class="summary-list"><li>There is an impending wave of new startups spinning out of larger AI labs, per Air Street Capital's State of AI report.</li><li>AI labs are fragmenting due to ego clashes, philosophical disagreements, and commercial pressures.</li></ul>The high-stakes race to build the world's most powerful AI models attracts sharp minds and big personalities. But as AI labs work towards the sector's holy grail, known as artificial general intelligence, those personalities have clashed — sometimes leading to a very public parting of ways.In many cases, those researchers have left to form new AI startups that have attracted large investments from VCs.Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI's former chief scientist, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/openai-co-founder-sutskevers-new-safety-focused-ai-startup-ssi-raises-1-billion-2024-09-04/">raised $1 billion</a> for his brand-new AI safety startup Safe Superintelligence in September 2024. He secured the backing of venture heavyweights Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia before even launching a product.Earlier this year, Black Forest Labs, launched by former Stable Diffusion executives, was said to be in talks to raise $100 million at a $1 billion valuation, <a target="_blank" href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/20/grok-image-generator-black-forest-labs-raising-100m-at-1b-valuation/">TechCrunch first reported</a>.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/holistic-ai-has-raised-a-mega-round-sources-say-2024-4">Paris-based H</a>, launched by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stealth-ai-startups-emerge-from-google-deepmind-2023-7">former DeepMind</a> staffers, also raked in a $220 million pre-seed round from Accel and UiPath in May.And SakanaAI, helmed by StabilityAI's former chief operating officer, <a target="_blank" href="https://sakana.ai/series-a/">tapped $200 million</a> from NEA. Arguably spearheading the trend was when <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/former-openai-employees-who-left-launch-vc-backed-ai-startups-2024-1">former OpenAI executives</a> broke away to launch rival lab Anthropic in 2021.They are just some of the examples in a long line of AI labs that have fractured away from their juggernaut predecessors to form new startups.Founders and investors anticipate that more are on the horizon.<h2 id="eb45cfe5-75e2-4ad6-aa27-3b7d9e256450">Investor appetite for AI is sky-high</h2>According to PitchBook, startups building foundational models, a form of generative AI that creates outputs from prompts, have raised a record $22.9 billion in VC funding <a target="_blank" href="https://my.pitchbook.com/search-results/s466681959/overview_tab">so far in 2024</a><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://my.pitchbook.com/search-results/s466681959/overview_tab">.</a> That's up from the $18.4 billion secured in 2023.It's a sign that investor appetite for these capital and compute-intensive upstarts is high.The trend of smaller AI labs fragmenting is set to continue in the coming year, according to an <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.stateof.ai/">annual state of AI report</a> published by Air Street Capital in October.Driven in part by "a combination of scientific disagreement, commercial pressures, personality clashes, and availability of capital," the report anticipated that the shift was a signifier of "an ecosystem deepening."<h2 id="9fc3d9f9-638d-41c3-b6e6-a9e81bcb17d4">Personality clashes are driving the divide</h2>Four months after launching, three of H's cofounders <a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/h-company-ai_when-h-company-launched-earlier-this-year-activity-7232781751952027650-T79S/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop">announced</a> that they would leave the startup before launching it launched its first product due to "operational differences."As witnessed in the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/man-who-revolted-against-sam-altman-just-started-research-lab-2024-6">rift between Sutskever and his OpenAI cofounder Sam Altman</a>, a divide in personal values and egos is increasingly driving these fractures.It's an ego-driven phenomenon, according to Noel Hurley, an ex-VP at Arm who then took on the mantle of CEO at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/exclusive-ex-arm-vp-joins-new-ai-startup-as-ceo-2024-2">Literal Labs,</a> a startup building an efficient AI. Many of these players "have been told they're brilliant, so they believe it," he told BI."I think they are also slightly encouraged by the venture capital community," he added. "They're always looking for superstars and so, and once they find a superstar, what they'll do is they will raise, and they will inflate that superstar because then that helps them pass that investment on."As well as a mix of egos, which "manifests as personality clashes and politics," a key factor is also the "different directions folks want to take their work in," said Nathan Benaich, founder and general partner at Air Street Capital.For example, up-and-coming juniors who are promoted to senior levels may want to take their research in a particular direction, but their projects may not be prioritized, he said. "Therefore, this sets out on them on their own."A key issue within larger organizations is that they often "struggle with agility due to bureaucracy and internal constraints," said Samir Kumar, general partner at Touring Capital, pointing to H and Mistral, both of which were launched by ex-DeepMind and Meta staffers. "This can frustrate researchers who feel that their ideas and directions aren't being resourced or pursued with the urgency they require."He added: "Talent who want to push the envelope often find it easier to branch out and start their own ventures where they have more control and flexibility."<h2 id="ceabd160-0ff4-420d-af1d-f6d458eb0b89">Implications for the wider AI ecosystem</h2>Although current incumbents have structural advantages, Kumar also expected waves of new companies "at the frontier of the gen AI shift." In other words, it's all still to play for because "the winners in the first wave aren't necessarily the long-term winners," he said.In October, former DeepMind research scientist Peter J. Liu <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://x.com/peterjliu/status/1844479477583314999">announced</a> he was leaving the AI lab with fellow researchers from Google Brain to work on something new. He saw in-house research as an essential tool in turning "a flaky tool into an indispensable demo" — but ultimately said that "a cracked team can get a lot more done with far fewer people these days."While such major AI labs are seeing researchers splintering away, Hurley anticipates a "yo-yo effect" in which these new labs will eventually be consolidated under two to three major entities. The exception would be if AI labs pivot toward building a niche model within a specific vertical, he said.Benaich agreed with the sentiment, pointing to the intensive costs needed to run these labs. "If your competitors are like pseudo vertically integrating to get access to data centers and data and product and users, then I don't see how you can compete with that by raising a $20 million, $30 million or $100 million round," he told BI.He anticipated a wave of newer AI labs to enter the market in the near future. "As the months go by, they can create real revenue — and then non-believers get converted to believers on the investing side, on the private markets," he said."Plus, they see high valuations and share prices and growth, so public companies are more and more likely to want to balance having exposure to labs, and so the markets fulfill the demand," he added.

AI labs are fragmenting because of ego clashes and commercial pressures. It's about to drive a wave of new startups.

According to the latest update to the Hurun list, Murali Divi with a wealth of ₹79,000 crore is the 14th richest person in India, leaving behind the old money magnates like the Wadias, Mistrys, Godrejs and Agarwals. What makes it even better is the fact that Divi’s father managed the family of 14 on a meagre pension of ₹10,000 per month. Indeed, nothing quite describes the emergence of small-town India as one of the drivers of the country’s growth as the stories of people like Murali Divi or <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/news/meet-girish-mathrubootham-founder-and-ceo-of-freshworks/articleshow/86453777.cms">Girish Mathrubootham</a>, whose father was a bank officer. <div type="image" title="Divi&amp;#39;s" msid="86750084" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Divi&amp;#39;s Labs was founded in 1990 and it went public in 2003&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Today, Divi’s Labs commands a market capitalisation of ₹1.28 lakh crore – almost three times of what it was on March 23, 2020, when India went into a nationwide lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On October 4, the stock added another 10% to its value after it was chosen as the authorised manufacturer for Merck and Ridgeback’s oral antiviral Molnupiravir, which is under trial, and the results so far show that it can reduce the need for hospitalisation for patients with <a href="https://www.merck.com/news/merck-and-ridgebacks-investigational-oral-antiviral-molnupiravir-reduced-the-risk-of-hospitalization-or-death-by-approximately-50-percent-compared-to-placebo-for-patients-with-mild-or-moderat/">a mild or moderate case of COVID-19</a>. <div type="image" title="Divi&amp;#39;s Labs 23_03_20 to 04_10_21." msid="86749896" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Divi&amp;#39;s Labs share price since the Covid-19 pandemic broke out in India&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> What sent the share price of Divi’s Labs in another orbit compared to other companies is its effective utilisation of capital and expanding supply of APIs to US pharma companies in 2020, even as the world struggled to cope up with China shutting off the supply chain for the pharma sector. Since the pandemic, Murali Divi has seen his wealth more than double, from a little under $4 billion at the beginning of 2020 to over $10 billion now. But what does the future hold for this billionaire scientist’s company, Divi’s Labs? Here’s a quick look at the risks for the company and what its strengths are: <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Pressure on drug prices in US" comment="subhead" text="Pressure on drug prices in US">Pressure on drug prices in US</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="Divi&amp;#39;s research" msid="86750068" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Divi&amp;#39;s Labs&amp;#39; research centre&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The US government has been forcing prices of medicines down for a few years now by approving more generic versions. This is likely to continue and may even get worse, according to analysts at Ambit Capital. But that is not a problem unique to Divi’s. Other companies like Sun Pharma, Lupin, Dr Reddy’s etc. have also been facing similar pricing pressure. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Resumption of physical inspections of plants" comment="subhead" text="Resumption of physical inspections of plants">Resumption of physical inspections of plants</cmsannotation> The US Federal Drug Administration (FDA) had eased its watch on the quality of drugs exported from India in the wake of the pandemic. However, the hawks at the USFDA may return to their old ways of surprise inspections at manufacturing plants and that’s a risk for all companies. The increased compliance burden could prove to be a double-edged sword for pharma companies, including Divi’s Labs, according to Ambit Capital. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Proactive capacity scale-up and technology upgrades" comment="subhead" text="Proactive capacity scale-up and technology upgrades">Proactive capacity scale-up and technology upgrades</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="Divi&amp;#39;s lab" msid="86750058" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Divi&amp;#39;s Labs&amp;#39; research and development centre&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> One of the secrets of Divi’s rise to be the second biggest drug maker in the country, by market capitalisation, is its ability to scale up capacity and cut costs using technology. “It is still supplying legacy products, showing both its strength and continuing demand in these products. Its next leg of growth is expected to come from 16 new molecules it is currently working on,” said Motilal Oswal in its September report, which said that the shares of Divi’s Labs could go up to ₹5,750, another 10%, in the next one year. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Strong partnerships with innovators" comment="subhead" text="Strong partnerships with innovators">Strong partnerships with innovators</cmsannotation> The report further adds that Divi’s Labs has a strong relationship with big pharma companies, including six out of the top ten innovators including Merck, Pfizer, and GlaxoSmithKline. “Divi can supply both clinical quantities and at large commercial scale, thus supporting innovators from API research to commercial manufacturing,” says the report. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="The scientist behind the billionaire" comment="subhead" text="The scientist behind the billionaire">The scientist behind the billionaire</cmsannotation> To make things worse, Divi failed his intermediate exams (the equivalent of higher secondary) twice due to weak English. However, instead of giving up and resigning himself to his failures, Divi doubled down and grabbed the opportunity to go to the US as a pharmacist instead of becoming a chemist like his elder brothers. <div type="image" title="Murali Divi" msid="86750146" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Murali Divi&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> When Divi left India for the states in 1976, he was 25 years old with $7 in his hands, according to <a href="https://www.forbesindia.com/article/india-rich-list-2014/murali-divi-the-accidental-chemist/38771/1">Forbes India</a>. From there, he went on to draw a salary of $65,000 a year at US companies like Trinity Chemical and Fike Chemical. He would soon come back to India with his wife and children with $40,000 and no plans for the future. He went with the flow and in 1984, teamed up with Kallam Anji Reddy to build Cheminor, which would later (in 2000) be merged with Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, also co-founded by Reddy. Six years later, Divi founded Divi’s Laboratories, his own pharma company. Headquartered in Hyderabad, the company makes active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and intermediates. APIs are the key inputs that go into making a drug. From nowhere in 1990, Divi’s Labs is now one of the top three API manufacturers in the world.

However, he believes that “stringent measures by the administration” can control the current wave of COVID-19 infections and the sell-off, in the meantime, may pull down shares to bargain prices. The day started on a positive note as the Federal Reserve seemed less worried about inflation in the US. A rise in inflation in the US would force the American central bank to increase interest rates, making it more attractive for global investors to pull money out of emerging markets like India and invest it in the US. This was the overwhelming fear in the run up to the Fed meet and it had come undone at the end of it. As the Fed Chairperson Jerome Powell downplayed the inflation risk in the US, the dollar weakened against all major currencies. A weaker dollar hurts Indian exporters. That would explain the sharp fall in marquee stocks like Infosys and HCL Tech (where the earnings expectations are still strong) as well as drug exporters like Dr Reddy’s Labs. But the confidence among the bulls wasn’t strong enough to overcome the fear of a resurgent pandemic. ITC was the top gainer among large-cap stocks today followed by Bajaj Auto, Hindalco and Bharti Airtel. The sell-off in the mid and small-cap segments was equally brutal as the large-cap indices Sensex and Nifty50. While the market seems to be fearing another crash in economic activity, the most recent data does not seem to indicate that. The Nomura India Business Resumption Index (NIBRI) picked up to 95.7 for the week ending 14 March. That’s a 4.3 percentage point short of the pre-pandemic normal. Essentially, the report dated March 15 showed that Indians are going about their business as usual, not bothered by the latest wave of infections. And that economic activity is nearly as good as it was before the pandemic. But as far as the share market goes, the bears seem to be in charge of the narrative.

The shares of Cipla ended 0.62% lower on Friday. ITC On Friday, Consumer staples-to-hospitality major ITC reported an 18.23% drop in its consolidated net profit to ₹3,413.44 crore. The drop came despite a 2.18% growth in its revenue from operations to ₹13,147.81 crore during the period under review. Its FMCG segment delivered a decent sales growth of 15.4% (YoY), but wasn’t enough to offset the volume decline of 12% in its cigarette segment. The shares of ITC ended 0.54% lower on Friday. Divi’s Labs Drug firm, Divi’ ’s Laboratories, reported a 45.63% rise in its consolidated net profit to ₹519.59 crore for the quarter ended September 30, mainly on account of robust sales. Consolidated total income stood at ₹1,762.94 crore compared to ₹1,492.60 crore for the same period a year ago. The shares of Divi’s Labs ended 0.40% higher on Friday. Biocon Kiran Mazumdar Shaw-led Biocon’s subsidiary, Biocon Biologics, had received a ₹1,125 crore investment from Goldman Sachs. This capital injection will enable Biocon Biologics to make prudent investments in R&amp;D, high-quality manufacturing, as well as, establish a global commercial footprint, the company said. The shares of Biocon ended 0.17% higher on Friday. Lakshmi Vilas Bank Private sector Lakshmi Vilas Bank (LVB) reported a net loss of ₹397 crore in the second quarter ended September 30 due to a rise in bad loans and provisions.

The<a href="https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/banking-finance/made-significant-progress-with-clix-group-says-lakshmi-vilas-bank/2123468/"> bank also said</a> that despite logistical challenges arising due to the COVID-19 situation, the bank has made significant progress with Clix group for the proposed amalgamation of Clix Capital Service and Clix Finance India into the bank. The shares of Lakshmi Vilas Bank ended 0.64% higher on Friday. Voltas Electronics major Voltas reported 25.74% decline in consolidated net profit to ₹79.66 crore for the quarter ended September 30. The company also decided to restructure its business; it would transfer 100% of the B2B businesses to its wholly-owned subsidiary — Rohini Industrial Electricals Ltd (RIEL). The shares of Voltas ended 1% higher on Friday. Vedanta Vedanta reported a 61.8% decline in consolidated net profit to ₹824 crore for the quarter ended September 30, on the back of one-time tax expense. The decline came despite the stellar 33% growth in its revenue to ₹20,804 crore during the quarter under review. The shares of Vedanta ended 0.21% higher on Friday.
