New research institution
New AI-alignment research organization led by Geoffrey Irving and backed by a major Coefficient approval.
Coefficient's September 9 update reports approval of $160 million for Resolution, describing it as its largest AI-safety grant. The stated purpose is scaling rigorous alignment research. Approval is the recorded transaction stage; the statement is not a payment ledger.

Its Coefficient award combines base and conditional support. OpenAI credits add a separate research resource. The Agent Foundations team brings both a research tradition and explicit concerns about automation.

The same update announces Project Tailwind to recruit and fund new founders. Concrete examples show the scale: $160 million approved for Resolution, more than $70 million over two years recommended for Redwood Research, and a $68 million three-year renewal recommendation for Epoch AI. Research capacity, measurements and new institutions are being built with this money.
Read the research & sources ↗Resolution’s announcement divides its $160m Coefficient award into a $108m base and $52m conditional on hiring success and compute needs. The base also supports some onward grants. Those conditions connect institutional growth to the release of resources; the announcement does not disclose the detailed milestones or payment schedule.
Read the research & sources ↗Resolution’s new Agent Foundations team openly carries forward a MIRI-adjacent research tradition. Jeremy Gillen’s joining statement also questions whether some research automation could accelerate dangerous capabilities. He explicitly withholds blanket endorsement of the organization’s other work. A well-financed institution can contain a real dispute over what progress should mean.
Read the research & sources ↗These are related publisher versions, not four independent confirmations. The media API also lists a second May2025 file (media1409), which was discovered but not fetched. No earlier-membership names or resolution establishing who replaced or joined the sole member were recovered. The decisive date gap is the adopted text and resolutions effective6July2023 , not whether a file with 2023 in its name exists.
