Observer | Jeff Bezos Is Quietly Building an A.I. Dream Team at Project Prometheus by Alexandra Tremayne-Pengelly

Jeff Bezos has been keeping a low profile since stepping in as co-CEO of Project Prometheus, the code name for his secretive A.I. startup, last year. But behind the scenes, he’s been busy. The company has been raising fresh capital, pursuing acquisitions and aggressively recruiting top talent across Silicon Valley. One of its newest hires is Kyle Kosic, recruited to join Bezos’s initiative after stints at OpenAI and xAI, according to the Financial Times. Kosic joins a fast-growing team filled with alumni from major tech companies. Like many of Project Prometheus’s recruits, he specializes in A.I. infrastructure. Such skills will be crucial as the company aims to transform engineering and manufacturing through automation powered by A.I.

Project Prometheus gives Bezos’s first operational position since stepping down as Amazon’s CEO in 2021. Although he remains the founder of Blue Origin, he’s no longer its chief executive. At Project Prometheus, however, he shares leadership duties with co-founder Vikram Bajaj, a former Google X researcher who also co-founded the life sciences venture Verily and the investment firm Foresite Capital. Since launching in 2025, Project Prometheus has expanded rapidly, filling offices in San Francisco, London and Zurich.

Investors have taken notice. The startup raised $6.2 billion last year and now seeks another $6 billion to develop A.I. systems that move beyond large language models (LLMs) toward physical applications in real-world industries. Bezos and Bajaj are also reportedly in talks to raise a separate $100 million fund to acquire manufacturing companies in sectors such as semiconductors, defense and aerospace that could benefit from A.I. automation.

Unlike other AI companies focused on chatbots, this one builds physical AI that learns by testing real world systems. Think rockets, robots, factories, self-driving cars. It speeds up design from months to weeks by running actual experiments instead of just simulations.
