Jeff Bezos’s startup lab hires xAI co-founder who had joined OpenAI

Jeff Bezos’s “secretive” artificial intelligence (AI) startup lab reportedly continues to build its team. A report claims that the lab has recently hired, which also reflects the ongoing talent movement across major AI companies. According to a report by The Financial Times, an AI lab operating under the code name Project Prometheus, linked to Bezos, has brought in Kyle Kosic, a co-founder of Elon Musk’s xAI, who has also worked with Sam Altman’s OpenAI. He led the infrastructure team behind Grok chatbot maker’s Colossus supercomputer before rejoining his previous employer, OpenAI, in 2024. At Prometheus, he is expected to continue working on AI infrastructure projects.
