AIBuildAI was founded by Pengtao Xie and his students to develop AI agents that can automatically construct AI models, aiming to let users build models without coding or AI expertise. Its Agent 1.0 achieved first place on the OpenAI MLE-Bench, and the company announced an upcoming Agent 2.0. The team announced a $4 million pre-seed raise to support its mission, with backing from Sixty Degree Capital, ML Capital, and angel investors. Public acknowledgments named individual supporters including Mohan Zhang, mehreen m, ROBERT GUO, and Patrick Dai. The company framed its long-term vision around accessibility of AI while raising questions about ensuring quality and ethics if model-building is widely democratized.
