Why Prometheus is interesting

Software AI has raced ahead, but the physical economy — manufacturing, materials, hardware design — remains stubbornly manual. Prometheus aims to apply frontier AI to engineering the real world, where the work is harder and the moats are deeper. - Investors increasingly argue physical-world moats (data, manufacturing, deployment) are more defensible than pure software. - Capital is flooding physical AI: robotics companies have raised ~$55.8B in 2026, per Dealroom. - The scarcity of teams that can credibly bridge AI and physical engineering commands a premium.
