Trajectory raises $45M Series A to commercialize continual-learning post-training platform
Trajectory, a year-old startup founded by former DeepMind and Apple researchers, raised $45 million in a Series A led by Sequoia at a $300M valuation and is making its post-training continual-learning platform publicly available. The platform lets nontechnical experts connect applications to open-source models to collect feedback and iteratively retrain models for domain-specific tasks; early customers include Harvey, Rogo, Decagon, Mercor and Nvidia.
KEY POINTS
- Trajectory, a year-old startup founded by former DeepMind and Apple researchers, raised $45 million in a Series A led by Sequoia at a $300M valuation and is making its post-training continual-learning platform publicly available.
- The platform lets nontechnical experts connect applications to open-source models to collect feedback and iteratively retrain models for domain-specific tasks; early customers include Harvey, Rogo, Decagon, Mercor and Nvidia.
- This lowers the technical and cost barriers to adapting foundation models for specialized domains by enabling near-automatic, human-supervised continual learning and post-training.
