Today we’re announcing our $50M Series A! Over the last year, we’ve grown from a small group with a big idea into a platform powering AI for hundreds of millions of end users across image, video, audio, and more. Since Q3, we’ve grown revenue by 10x, placing Runware comfortably among the fastest growing companies in the world. 🚀 When Runware started, the mission was simple: build the fastest and most reliable multimodal inference platform on the planet and make it accessible to everyone. We built our own Sonic Inference Engine, our own GPU infrastructure, our own inference pods, and a set of optimizations that push the limits of what an AI provider can do at scale. 2026 will be the year we bring inference closer to users than ever. We’re deploying more than twenty Runware Inference Pods across major cities in Europe and the US, delivering sub-10ms latency AI. And we’re extending Runware to support every model on Hugging Face, running them faster, cheaper, and more reliably than anyone else. A special thank you to Dawn Capital for leading this round, alongside Speedinvest Comcast Ventures Insight Partners a16z speedrun 🧊 Zero Prime VC Alex Menn at Begin Capital and all our early backers who supported us long before Runware looked like it does today.

We’re excited to introduce Taste Labs. Our mission is to end AI slop. We’re building the data and infrastructure layer to give AI models and agents taste. And today we’re coming out of stealth, announcing our $18.5M seed funding, co-led by CRV and Amplify Partners AI has nailed objective domains and made it easy to generate anything. But it still feels off. Now, the challenge is judgement. What fits, what feels like you, what’s GREAT. This requires turning a fuzzy, subjective domain into something we can measure and codify. We’re starting with design. There are two sides to cracking this, the foundation model layer and the agent layer: - We’ve already been working with the top frontier labs to evaluate and improve their models, crafting the right post-training data and RL environments. - We’ve also been working with app-layer companies to build the context and verification tools for their agents to produce better, more on-brand, more creative outputs. We want a future where AI feels right. If you’re passionate about this mission, join us!

In 2026, I believe we'll see a Consumer AI Renaissance. Consumer spending is the lifeblood of the US economy – representing more than 65% of US GDP. AI is already rapidly transforming how we spend both our money and time. In just the past 3 years, ChatGPT has become the fastest growing consumer product in history – reaching billions of users with engagement levels similar to social media apps like WhatsApp and Instagram. And with recent advancement in AI capabilities, I predict we’ll see a new wave of breakout consumer AI applications. We’ve seen major advances in three key areas: 1. Real-time voice AI - which allows users to engage with AI products in a natural, hands-free way 2. Advanced reasoning models - which improves the complexity of questions AI products can answer 3. Embedded Memory - which allows AI products to remember context between conversations, enabling more personalized responses With these new capabilities, we can now build AI products that are 10x better than before. I’m especially excited about products that use AI to make previously expensive services cheaper and more accessible, sometimes using human-in-the-loop to start. This includes things like AI travel agents, personal assistants, matchmakers, therapists, tutors, and more. We’ve already seen a number of early-stage teams working on these at a16z a16z speedrun 🧊 – and we’re excited to meet more. If you’re building the next generation of consumer AI, we’d love to hear from you! h/t to Theresa Horne Avenir whose excellent research helped inspire some of these insights.

Today, we’re excited to announce our $50M Series B, led by Greenfield Partners (formerly TPG Capital), with participation from Lightspeed and Notable Capital. 🚀 At PatronusAI, we develop simulations and evals to train and improve AI. The first phase of AI was built on static benchmarks, but that era is over now. As agents are used to solve longer and longer tasks, they need to practice in dynamic, living worlds to get better. Simulations are the critical infrastructure powering this next phase. As a company, we’re behind the most influential research and products in AI evaluation, like FinanceBench, Lynx, and Percival. And things have moved at the speed of light since. ⚡ We partner with the world's leading frontier AI labs and enterprises, and our revenue has grown more than 15x over the past year. Additionally, today, we’re introducing a preview of the first Digital World Model for AI agent training and simulation: Patronus-DWM. Digital World Models are language diffusion world models that predict realistic environment behaviors and steer agent actions across digital workflows. Just as physical world models predict how objects move through space, we’re developing the equivalent for the digital world: predicting how agents act in digital workflows, then using that to scale the creation of high-quality training data for LLMs. Digital World Models help us push the frontier of ultra long horizon workflows, and unlock a new class of self-improving RL environments. This is our scalable approach to simulating all of the world’s intelligence. The round was also joined by Datadog, Inc., Samsung Ventures, Gokul Rajaram, Factorial Capital, and a large cohort of amazing AI leaders and researchers across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, NVIDIA, Recursive, and more. ✨ It has been the ride of a lifetime. But we’re just getting started. The best is yet to come. "Do not go gentle into that good night, Rage, rage against the dying of the light" - Dylan Thomas (1954)

Our biggest round yet: K2 Space Corporation has raised a $500M Series D at a $6.8B post-money valuation. The round was led by Kleiner Perkins and ICONIQ, with participation from CapitalG, Lightspeed, Altimeter Capital, Spark Capital, Sands Capital, ARK Invest, T. Rowe Price, and other existing investors. "Scaling” is probably the word I’ve used most often the past few months in conversations with our investors, customers, and employees when talking about what’s next for K2 Space in 2027 and beyond: --We’re going to continue to scale up mass production, to deliver against the $1B + in contracts we’ve won to-date. --We’re going to scale up the satellite itself, from the 20kW Mega to the 100kW class Giga. Its no longer just 100kW, but we’ll save that update for another day. The capital from the Series D will turbocharge this scaling. Thanks to everyone who has been on this journey with us for the last four years – let's keep building bigger.

Excited to announce Payman has raised a $3M pre-seed to pioneer AI to Human Payments! 🤖 + 🧑🏽 We’re proud to be backed by Visa, Coinbase Ventures 🛡️, Boost VC, Deepwater Asset Management, Spartan Group, Untapped Capital, Theory Forge VC and other awesome investors! With Payman, AI can pay humans to help them complete tasks like marketing ones shown in the video. Our Vision We believe AI and Humans will always work together. Giving AI the capability to work with humans involves giving them access to capital, and access to humans. Payman’s platform makes it easy for AI to pay humans for what it needs. This includes information, tasks that need to be completed, and so much more. We believe a key reason that AI Agents have struggled is because they aren’t able to ask for help from humans and incentivize them to help out. Building out the AI-Human payments infrastructure solves this and it’s why we’re so excited about what we’re building. Today 100% of the global economy is human to human payments. AI will start to eat a big chunk of that and Payman will be the rails by which it does so. How it’s going Since announcing Payman a couple of months ago we have 15,000+ people on the waitlist ready to use the product. In the meantime we’ve hired a stellar team to build out the production version of the product and have started onboarding Developers and Human’s to the platform this week. If you’re a developer and you'd like to get access, check out our website and sign up for early access. Additional Rockstar Investors In addition to the above investors we’re also proud to be backed by Protofund, Systemic Ventures, MetropolisDAO, and our awesome angel investors, Paris 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist Viktor Axelsen, Devin Walsh, kennethng.eth, Erin Koen, and many more!

The first phase of AI was built on static benchmarks, but that era is over. As agents are used to solve longer and longer tasks, they need to practice in dynamic, living worlds to get better. Simulations are the critical infrastructure powering this next phase. As a company, we’re behind the most influential research and products in AI evaluation, like FinanceBench, Lynx, and Percival. And things have moved at the speed of light since.⚡ We partner with the world's leading frontier AI labs and enterprises, and our revenue has grown more than 15x over the past year. Additionally, today, we’re introducing a preview of the first Digital World Model for AI agent training and simulation: Patronus-DWM. Digital World Models are language diffusion world models that predict realistic environment behaviors and steer agent actions across digital workflows. Just as physical world models predict how objects move through space, we’re developing the equivalent for the digital world: predicting how agents act in digital workflows, then using that to scale the creation of high-quality training data for LLMs. Digital World Models help us push the frontier of ultra long horizon workflows, and unlock a new class of self-improving RL environments. This is our scalable approach to simulating all of the world’s intelligence. The round was also joined by Datadog, Inc., Samsung Ventures, Gokul Rajaram, Factorial Capital, and a large cohort of amazing AI leaders across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, NVIDIA, Recursive, and more.✨ It has been the ride of a lifetime. But we’re just getting started. The best is yet to come. "Do not go gentle into that good night, Rage, rage against the dying of the light" - Dylan Thomas (1954)

Today, Bedrock Robotics emerges from stealth with $80M in funding led by Eclipse and 8VC to bring fully autonomous systems to the construction industry. Read more from our CEO Boris Sofman on the company vision and where we’re headed: Now, more than ever, America needs to build. Recent investments in reshoring mean we need new factories for domestic manufacturing. We need new data centers and energy solutions to power AI. And we need millions of new housing units to solve our country’s housing crisis. Demand for development has never been higher, but we have a supply problem choking our economic future. More than 500,000 construction jobs sit unfilled as critical projects stall. Bedrock is here to change that. Our Bedrock Operator transforms existing fleets of worksite equipment into fully autonomous machines, enabling builders to meet growing construction demands in the U.S. with greater quality, predictability, and safety. And in just one year, we’ve deployed our technology on test sites in AR, AZ, TX, and CA, with a list of forward-thinking partners, including Sundt Construction, Zachry Construction, Champion Site Prep, and Capitol Aggregates. And we’ve got so much more to build.

Multi-agent systems offer incredible potential and unprecedented risks. How do you solve for observability, failure mode analysis, and guardrailing in the era of agents? Today, we’re announcing our Agent Reliability platform to observe, evaluate, guardrail, and improve agents at scale. You can get started with the complete platform for trustworthy agentic AI today for free, and here’s how we’re solving some of the biggest challenges in agent reliability: - Observability redesigned for agents Trace views collapse under complex workflows, so we created the Graph View, Timeline View, and Conversation View to offer rich, intuitive visualizations of agent decisions, tool calls, and conversation flows. This multi-dimensional approach enables teams to pinpoint exactly where and why agents deviate or fail. - Automated Failure Mode Analysis with our new Insights Engine Our Insights Engine ingests your logs, metrics, and agent code to automatically surface nuanced failure modes and their root causes. But knowing the problem is not enough; you need to know how to fix it. Insights Engine delivers actionable fixes and can even apply them automatically. With adaptive learning, your insights become smarter and more relevant as your agents evolve. - Evaluating Agents Across Multiple Dimensions Agentic systems interact across complex pathways, and evaluating their performance requires new metrics that reflect this increasing complexity. To deliver comprehensive agentic measurements, we’ve added more out-of-the-box agent metrics like flow adherence, agent flow, agent efficiency, and more. For specialized domains and unique workflows, custom metrics powered by our new Luna-2 small language models can be rapidly designed and fine-tuned for your specific use case. - Real-Time Guardrails Powered by Luna-2 As AI agents become more autonomous and complex, failures like hallucinations or unsafe actions increase dramatically. Without real-time guardrails, these errors will hurt your user experience and brand reputation. Our Luna-2 family of small language models is purpose-built to provide low-latency, cost-effective guardrails that actively stop agent errors before they happen. With support for out-of-the-box and custom metrics, Luna-2 enables enterprises to enforce safety, compliance, and reliability at scale. Enterprises running hundreds of agents and processing hundreds of millions of queries daily already rely on Galileo’s Agent Reliability platform to protect their users, safeguard brand trust, and accelerate innovation. Agent Reliability is available starting today. Try it for free and experience the new standard in AI reliability. Learn more below 👇
