Jeff Bezos returns from retirement to build an Artificial General Engineer – Prometheus

Jeff Bezos is back. The Amazon founder has cut his retirement short to spearhead his new startup, Prometheus, a new AI venture that is instantly forcing its way into the same conversation as OpenAI and Anthropic. But Bezos isn’t here to replicate what’s already been done, not another AI chatbot or vibe coding platform.

Backed by a massive new funding round that places the company among the elite of Silicon Valley before even shipping a product, Prometheus is focusing on an entirely new frontier – AI in physical engineering and heavy industry.
