Investing.com — SandboxAQ, a startup specializing in applying quantum technology to AI development, has successfully raised over $300 million. The funding round has increased the company’s valuation to more than $5.6 billion.

The new funds will be utilized to recruit more engineers to further the company’s mission.

The company, chaired by former Google chief Eric Schmidt, was established less than three years ago as a spin-off from Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc. SandboxAQ has established partnerships with corporate giants such as Accenture (NYSE:ACN) and Deloitte to expand its customer base.

Investment firm Alger and Yann LeCun, a well-known name in the AI field, are among the new investors participating in the latest funding round. Existing backers also include T. Rowe Price, Breyer Capital, Thomas Tull’s USIT, and Schmidt himself, as announced by the company in a statement on Wednesday.

SandboxAQ is carving out a niche in the rapidly growing field of AI innovation, a top priority for tech venture capital. The company sets itself apart by adopting different methods from prevailing approaches, such as those used by OpenAI.

Currently, SandboxAQ runs quantum physics algorithms on graphics processing units, but plans to transition to more advanced machines in the future.
