Introducing Simile - The Simulation Company
Backed by Karpathy and Fei-Fei Li, this startup is building a 'society simulator'.
Deep Dive
Simile has announced a $100M funding round led by Index Ventures to build an AI foundation model that simulates human society. The company creates generative agents based on real people to predict behavior at scale. It's already used by enterprises to rehearse earnings calls, model litigation, and test policies. The long-term vision is to simulate trillions of interacting decisions across entire cultures and states, moving major decisions from intuition to simulation.
Why It Matters
This could fundamentally change how companies and governments test high-stakes decisions before real-world deployment.
