Prometheus is one of Jeff Bezos’ newest ventures.
The artificial intelligence startup launched in November with $6.2 billion in funding. Bezos, who stepped down as Amazon‘s CEO in 2021, serves as co-CEO alongside Vik Bajaj, a professor at Stanford University’s School of Medicine who previously co-founded Alphabet’s Verily, a research lab dedicated to life sciences.
Prometheus is focused on building AI models for physical tasks, including engineering, manufacturing and drug design. The startup has remained tight-lipped about its initial products, and it has been busy recruiting talent from companies including OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Nvidia.
CNBC’s David Faber will sit down for an exclusive interview with Bezos and Bajaj at 10 a.m. ET from Prometheus’ San Francisco headquarters.
Bezos told CNBC last month that Prometheus is working on an “artificial intelligence engineer” that would make it easier for engineers to design physical objects.
He said Prometheus is “something I got so excited about that I became the co-CEO of the company, putting a lot of time into it, a lot of energy into it.”
