Announcing our $160M grant from Coefficient Giving

According to LessWrong, an AI safety organization called Resolution, formerly known as Sequent, has announced a one hundred sixty million dollar grant from the philanthropy Coefficient Giving. The money is structured as a one hundred eight million dollar base plus fifty-two million dollars that's conditional on hiring success and compute needs. Resolution says it will use the funding to accelerate what it calls semiautomated alignment research, arguing that frontier AI systems have finally reached a point where they can make real theoretical progress. The group's stated goal is to put rigorous alignment work on closer footing with well-capitalized commercial labs, framing the effort as making the race between safety and capability a fairer fight. Coefficient Giving is the sole funder for now, and Resolution notes it is hiring across technical and operational roles.
