AI startup Safe Superintelligence leases Tel Aviv offices

Exclusively: Safe Superinteigence (SSI), and the beginning of AI Startup, which was established last year by Openai founder and former chief scholars Elijah Sutskfar, alongside Daniel Gross and Daniel Levy, and expanding operations in Israel. Sources close to the “Globes” order told that Ai Enterprise has rented offices at the Midtown High-Lise complex in Tel Aviv, in 144 Menachem Begin Road. At the same time, SSI is looking for a general manager of Israeli operations, who will assemble a local team of researchers.

Each floor in the Midtown complex includes an area of ​​1660 square meters and sources familiar with the issue that SSI has rented half of the floor at most. The sources also told “Globes” that the Israel team in SSI would not be very large.

The company refused to comment on this report.

Rent 125,000 NIS per month

Since this is a multi -owner project, it is difficult to know the exact rent that will be imposed on Sutzkever, but the current estimate is that it is within 130 to 200 square meters. For example, there is currently an area of ​​750 square meters “on the shelf” provided for rent in the project, as well as 10 working stations, and a rent is required about 150 NIS per square meter. At this price, half a floor in the tower will cost about 125,000 NIS per month for rent. The concession recorded by the company that it recorded at the beginning of this month in favor of the Bank Leumi is worth about 171,690 NIS, may reflect a prior batch on the rent and enhance this estimate.

The city center’s choice reflects an advanced trend in the local technology market. The complex, located in the center of Tel Aviv, has become one of the most important technology centers in the city. Besides technology giants such as Microsoft, which has three floors in the complex and runs a large development center, there are also increasing startups like ASK-Ei and Env0. SSI enhances the building of Midtown as a magnet for advanced technology companies, and now in the field of artificial intelligence.

Raising capital rated $ 20 billion

According to the sources of industry, SSI has already started occupying offices with a first team of researchers and focused on employing the leading minds in the field of artificial intelligence, especially PhD students and post -PhD. This is a limited targeted audience for hundreds of Israelis and competing for their employment that motivates the company against research teams in technology giants that already operate in Israel, such as Microsoft, NVIDIA and others.

Sutskever’s AI Co, which offers the monthly starting salaries 60,000 NIS

The expansion of SSI operations in Israel following a major development in the global operations of AI. I raised one billion dollars in September with a value of $ 5 billion led by prominent investors such as Sequoia and Andressen Horowitz, and the current talks of another financing round reflected an evaluation of $ 20 billion – an extraordinary company for a company that was established only one year ago and had 10 employees at the time of the last donation.

The impressive ability to raise the capital not only stems from the founding of the founders, headed by Sotzkar, who is considered one of the leading and most important names in the world of artificial intelligence his company, but also one of the great challenges it faces. Among the causes of that growing war of talent in the field of artificial intelligence, which requires attractive reward packages. According to industry sources, the basic salary of the leadership of artificial intelligence experts in Israel begins from 50,000 to 60,000 per month, but it is likely to be about 100,000 NIS for senior experts, whom the company targets.

In addition, the development of advanced artificial intelligence models requires a significant investment in computing infrastructure. As R&D, SSI needs a long -term financial horizon that allows it to focus on advanced technological development to provide a commercial product – an approach that requires, according to Daniel Gross, “several years of research and development before bringing a product to the market” in general, they say in this industry, that Announcing a major evaluation of a young company is part of the “game” in artificial intelligence. With the presence of their competitors in the future, they raise huge sums, SSI must also provide high numbers.

A business model differs from competitors

SSI was founded in early 2024 by a team of world -famous founders in the field of artificial intelligence: Elia Sotzkv, the former chief scientist in Openai who grew up in Israel and immigrated with his family to Canada when he was 16 years old; Daniel Gross, a former Israeli who led artificial intelligence projects in Apple; Daniel Levy, who previously worked in Openai. The company focuses on developing safe artificial intelligence technologies.

In his latest appearance at the NeuPS conference in December, Sutzkever has identified the company’s approach to developing advanced artificial intelligence models that do not constantly depend on the growing databases. This approach is a great innovation in a field where the prevailing trend is to constantly expand databases and increase computing strength.

In this way, the SSI business model is different from other artificial intelligence companies. Instead of focusing on developing commercial products or competing with the development of data groups, the company aims to achieve technological penetration in the field of effective training for artificial intelligence models. This approach focuses on developing innovative methods to achieve advanced performance through limited mathematical resources and data, similar to recent developments in the industry, such as Deepseek (the Chinese model that has improved performance by improving current models).

If SSI succeeds in its approach, you will not only change the way to develop artificial intelligence models, but also provides an important alternative to the models currently in the market, including those in Openai, and perhaps even using the open source – which can be “sweet revenge from Sotzkar part, “on Openai, says market sources.
