Jeff Bezos's mysterious startup, 'Project Prometheus,' has successfully poached Kyle Kosic, the co-founder of xAI, from OpenAI. Kosic previously led the infrastructure team for xAI's Colossus supercomputer and returned to OpenAI in 2024. This time, he will join 'Project Prometheus' to oversee AI infrastructure projects. With this move, all 11 of Musk's xAI co-founders have now left the company. Currently, 'Project Prometheus' has established offices in multiple locations and employed hundreds of staff, focusing on recruiting engineers and AI researchers. Founded by Bezos last year, the company is dedicated to developing AI systems capable of operating in the physical world and surpassing existing language systems, with a particular focus on the industrial sector. Bezos and Bajaj are leading the fundraising efforts, aiming to raise tens of billions of dollars to establish a 'permanent capital vehicle' for acquiring stakes in relevant companies.
