“Founded three years ago and based in Tel Aviv, Irregular is a niche player in artificial intelligence, backed with $80 million from Sequoia and
#RedpointVentures and valued last year at $450 million. Its technology serves as a sort of
#cybersecurity test bed for AI models.
With the leading models becoming ever more powerful, their ability to act in malicious ways is turning into a major threat for corporations and governments, especially as the risk involves hacking into critical computer
#systems and
#infrastructure. The recent exploits at OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta all involved their AI models accessing websites that should have been off-limits as part of the cybersecurity testing.
#Irregular’s name kept coming up because it was identified as hosting the so-called evaluation testbed.”

#VC money is having a two-way bet; Money on
