Project Prometheus is a recently founded physical AI laboratory focused on building AI systems that understand the laws of physics for use across engineering, manufacturing, aerospace, robotics, drug discovery, and logistics automation. The company was co-led publicly by Jeff Bezos and Vikram Bajaj and lists Sherjil Ozair and William Guss among its leaders. In its first five months it scaled to over 120 employees, drawing talent from organizations including OpenAI, xAI, Meta, and DeepMind. Financially, Prometheus has raised over $16 billion to date, including a $6.2 billion launch round in November 2025 and a subsequent $10 billion raise at a roughly $38 billion valuation. Prometheus has not yet released products, published research, or generated revenue. The company is reported to be building a separate manufacturing transformation vehicle intended to acquire industrial businesses that would supply operational data to improve its models, indicating a strategy that pairs in-house model development with strategic acquisitions.
