Osium AI is a United States-based AI materials discovery platform — backed by Y Combinator (S23) with $3.1 million in total funding including a $2.6 million seed in 2023 from Y Combinator, Singular, Kima Ventures, Collaborative Fund, and Raise Phiture — providing materials R&D engineers and industrial companies with AI software that accelerates the discovery and optimization of new materials by 10x, predicting physical and chemical properties of candidate formulations before laboratory synthesis. Founded in 2023 by Stanford University friends Sarah Najmark and Luisa Bouneder, Osium achieved a partnership with Aperam (a global stainless and specialty steel producer) in October 2024 and partnerships with leading research institutions in November 2024 — validating the platform's utility for industrial materials development.
Armonk NY hybrid cloud and enterprise AI (NYSE: IBM) at $62.8B revenue; $6B+ generative AI bookings, record $12.7B free cash flow 2024, DataStax acquisition for watsonx vector database competing with Microsoft Azure for enterprise AI.
About
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is an Armonk, New York-based global technology and consulting company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IBM) as an S&P 500 component — providing hybrid cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence software, and enterprise IT consulting through approximately 270,300 employees in 170 countries with $62.8 billion in annual revenue. Founded on June 16, 1911, as Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company through a merger orchestrated by financier Charles Ranlett Flint, renamed IBM in 1924 under Thomas Watson Sr., IBM has undergone multiple strategic transformations over its 110+ year history: building the System/360 mainframe platform (1964), launching the IBM PC (1981), selling the PC division to Lenovo (2005, $1.75B), and completing the $34 billion Red Hat acquisition (2019) that repositioned IBM as a hybrid cloud platform company. CEO Arvind Krishna (appointed April 2020) has focused IBM's strategy on three areas: hybrid cloud (powered by Red Hat OpenShift, the enterprise Kubernetes platform), AI (the watsonx platform for enterprise AI model development and deployment), and enterprise consulting. Under Krishna, IBM recorded $12.7 billion in free cash flow in 2024 (a company record), surpassed $6 billion in generative AI bookings since June 2023, and saw the stock price double — trading at all-time highs through 2024-2025. IBM announced the DataStax acquisition in 2025 to deepen watsonx's data layer with AstraDB (vector database for AI applications), DataStax Enterprise (Apache Cassandra), and Langflow (low-code AI agent development).
