Former Apple, Google Researchers Discover AI's Learning Loop 05/29/2026 - MediaPost

Former researchers from DeepMind, OpenAI, Meta, and Scale AI have founded a startup called Trajectory, focused on enabling continual learning for AI models from real-world experiences. The company announced a $15 million seed funding round led by venture firm Conviction.

Trajectory aims to help companies improve AI systems by allowing them to adapt and learn from data encountered during deployment, rather than relying solely on static training datasets. The startup's approach is described as addressing the 'learning loop' — enabling models to continuously refine their performance based on real-world interactions.

The founding team includes former employees of major AI research organisations. The $15 million seed round indicates early investor confidence in the concept of continual learning. The company did not disclose specific customers or product timelines in the announcement.
