Jeff Bezos Is Funding a Wild Hunt for the Brain’s ‘Core Algorithm’

Flourish aims to build a brain-like AI that runs on 50 watts or less, matching human brain efficiency.
Bezos contributed $50 million to Flourish, elevating its funding to about $500 million.
The team blends neuroscience and AI, conducting wet-lab experiments to uncover brain architecture.
Flourish attracts top researchers from DeepMind and academia to pursue long-range AI breakthroughs.
The venture sees near-term revenue paths, including hippocampus-inspired memory approaches for in-model learning.
Flourish expects a multi-year effort, planning for value seven to ten years out.
Open questions remain about whether the brain-like approach will outperform existing AI models.
The project situates within a broader neuromorphic and brain-inspired AI movement across industry.
A potential chip partner is being negotiated to put Flourish’s models on silicon.
The effort is framed as a long-term reinvention of AI, beyond current models.
