Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has not only poured capital into the artificial intelligence startup 'Project Prometheus' but has also dedicated a significant amount of his time. He currently serves as its co-CEO, actively participating in the startup's day-to-day management. This move marks his first foray into operational management since he stepped down from his position as Amazon's CEO in July 2021.

At its inception, Project Prometheus secured a substantial funding of $6.2 billion, with a portion of the funds coming directly from Bezos himself. The startup is dedicated to developing cutting-edge AI technologies tailored for the computer, automotive, manufacturing, and aerospace sectors. Despite its significant activities, the company maintains a low profile, keeping both its founding date and the location of its headquarters confidential.

The company's co-founder and CEO, Vik Bajaj, brings a wealth of experience from his previous tenure at Google X. Currently, Project Prometheus has successfully lured several research experts away from major internet giants. The team now boasts nearly 100 members, all dedicated to pioneering research into AI models that are even more complex than large language models (LLMs).
