Jeff Bezos’ $41 billion AI bet: What is Prometheus’ artificial general engineer?
Jeff Bezos is making a major push into artificial intelligence with Prometheus, a startup focused on building what it calls an “artificial general engineer” (AGE), an AI system designed to handle the entire engineering process, from product design and performance testing to manufacturing.
The company announced a $12 billion funding round that values it at about $41 billion. Investors include Bezos, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and BlackRock. Founded in late 2024, Prometheus currently employs around 150 people across offices in San Francisco, London and Zurich.
