Jeff Bezos' new startup Prometheus, co-founded with Vik Bajaj, focuses on 'physical AI,' applying deep learning to robotics and manufacturing. The company has raised a total of $12 billion in funding after an initial $6.2 billion round, reaching a valuation of $41 billion.
Bezos told CNBC the funding is needed due to the compute-intensive nature of the work and the need to generate training data. The startup currently employs 150 people.
