$1.1B into the “Machine Age” is another signal of where capital thinks this is going, the next phase of AI isn't only about better models. It's more compute, more autonomous software, more agents acting on behalf of people and companies, and eventually more machines transacting

As @bhorowitz said: “You need a whole new infrastructure and never has it been more high impact as it is on this one. So not only do we need new chips, new system software, we need new ways of doing power, we need to replace copper. It's absolutely everything.” 💪💪💪 (also how

AI is a world-defining category alongside the microprocessor, the steam engine, and electricity. Every one of them required an entirely new physical world to be built. We raised $1.1B to build this one.

The world's AI infrastructure is going to be reinvented. The data centers, the racks, the cooling, the power. It's the largest infrastructure opportunity in the history of computing. We raised $1.1B for it.
