Altman backs stealthy robotics software startup Alfred

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is backing Alfred, a stealthy Hawthorne, California–based robotics software startup founded by ex-Tesla designer Ankit Ukil and ex-Meta Reality Labs engineer Dömötör Gulyas. Backed by Hydrazine Capital and other investors, Alfred aims to raise about $40 million and is building a software platform to help engineers design and deploy machines faster, with talks reportedly underway with automakers, defense, and robotics firms. Altman has framed robotics as OpenAI’s next frontier, and Alfred’s team includes alumni from Tesla, Ford, and Honda, reflecting the broader surge of investment in physical AI and the robotics arms race.

NVIDIA Unveils Cosmos 3, an Open Multimodal Foundation for Physical AI

NVIDIA unveiled Cosmos 3, a fully open omnimodel designed for physical AI that combines a reasoning transformer with an expert generation transformer to understand object interactions, simulate environments, and generate actions across text, images, video, ambient sound and motion. Marketed as the first open omnimodel of its kind, it supports synthetic data generation and serves as a vision-language model, a world/simulation model, and an action-policy backbone for robotics and autonomous vehicles. The rollout includes the Cosmos Coalition with partners like Agile Robots, Black Forest Labs, Generalist, LTX, Runway and Skild AI, and Cosmos 3 is available in Super and Nano now, with Edge coming soon; access is via NVIDIA and collaborators such as Hugging Face and Azure.

Bezos-Backed AI Startup Aims for $38B Valuation with $10B Funding Drive

Bezos-cofounded Project Prometheus is seeking roughly $10 billion in fresh funding at a post-money valuation around $38 billion to develop 'physical AI' for real-world industrial processes; the secretive startup, led by Vik Bajaj and hiring from OpenAI and Google DeepMind, has a 50-200 person team in San Francisco and could be venturing into its first major round since last year’s $6.2 billion launch raise.
