Hello,
Reinforcement learning is steadily driving the modern AI pipeline.
And Nvidia is keen to capitalise on it. The American chip giant is teaming up with London startup Ineffable Intelligence to build the ‘next frontier’ of AI: ‘superlearners’ or a new generation of intelligent systems that learn continuously from experience.
Ineffable Intelligence, founded by David Silver—a former top scientist at Google DeepMind—will collaborate with Nvidia to develop AI systems that learn by trial and error. “Now we need to solve the harder problem of AI: how to build systems that discover new knowledge for themselves. That requires a very different approach—systems that learn from experience,” said Silver.

Together, the companies are building an agentic system of work for the finance and controller functions, enabling enterprises to move away from manual operations.

Why authenticity still matters in content creation
As Niharika Jain prepares for the Cannes red carpet, the creator and entrepreneur reflects on building a career rooted in authenticity, community, and reinvention.
Jain is excited, stressed, and worried that things aren’t going according to plan. But she also wants her audience, over 83,000 followers on Instagram and 1.6 million subscribers on YouTube, to know every bit about it. Not just the red-carpet look, but also the chaos behind it.
Building an identity:
- In a creator economy where performance rules, Niharika Jain has built a strong following through relatable, aspirational content. The lifestyle content creator, influencer and entrepreneur is authentic, vulnerable, and relatable.
- The defining moments in her career don’t reflect the success metrics alone; it’s all about people.
- However, Jain admits that the whole social media game can be exhausting. Audience growth and decline, algorithms can shift without notice. “When you see the audience getting bored with something, or when they come to you and say, I would like to see something else, it gets very stressful,” she says candidly.
Exits
Inflection Point Ventures’ stellar show
