Here's what Jeff Bezos' new startup Prometheus will do
摘要
杰夫·贝佐斯于去年11月宣布成为新创公司Prometheus的联合CEO，该公司专注于“物理AI”，即将深度学习原理应用于机器人和制造业。近期，Prometheus完成新一轮120亿美元融资，估值达410亿美元，投资方包括摩根大通、高盛和贝莱德等。贝佐斯表示，大量资金将用于购买算力，因为其业务对计算资源需求极高。目前公司拥有150名员工。
In November, Jeff Bezos announced that he would become co-CEO of a new startup called Prometheus. At the time, the startup said it would focus on "physical AI"—an increasingly common term for applying the same deep learning principles behind large language models or generative AI to things like robotics and manufacturing—but specifics were scarce. Now, with a major new round of funding, Bezos and co-founder Vik Bajaj have talked about it in slightly more detail.
The funding round is significant—$12 billion now, after an initial round of $6.2 billion last year, for a valuation of $41 billion. The funding comes from JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, and others, plus a sizable amount from Bezos' coffers. The startup currently employs 150 people.
Much of that funding will be put toward buying compute. "One of the reasons we’ve had to raise a significant amount of funding is because... what we’re doing is very compute-intensive and we need to create that data," Bezos told CNBC.
