AI startup [Inception](https://www.inceptionlabs.ai/) has raised $50 million. The company will use the funds to build new generative AI models for code and text. Inception is focusing on a technology called diffusion models.

This AI technique typically starts with random data, or noise. It then refines this data in steps to create a coherent output, such as an image. Inception adapts this process for software development. The models will learn to turn abstract noise into functional, high-quality code. The company believes this approach can improve automated code generation for developers.

The new capital will accelerate research and expand the engineering team.

This technology could provide a powerful new tool for writing both software and natural language.
