As AI content floods the internet, Pangram raises $9M to detect it
Summary
New York-based startup Pangram has successfully raised $9 million in a funding round led by Menlo Ventures to expand its AI detection capabilities. Alongside the investment, the company introduced Pangram 4, a next-generation text detection model claiming over 99% accuracy, and previewed a new AI image detection model. Founded by Stanford graduates Max Spero and Bradley Emi, Pangram aims to combat the surge of AI-generated "slop" and disinformation across the internet. The technology relies on machine learning models trained on millions of human documents rather than hidden watermarks, offering users a web subscription, a Chrome extension for real-time labeling on platforms like X and Substack, and API integrations for enterprise clients.
